Evaluation of the effectiveness of immunoglobulins in treatment of infectious diseases

Abstract

Human Specific Hyperimmune Globulins (HIG) are dosage forms of the concentrated purified protein fraction of immunoglobulin G against a specific viral or bacterial antigen. Effective and safe methods of the antibody’s purification makes possible to consider HIG as a preventive and curative agent, for the viral infections, against which there is no specific preventive or antiviral therapy, as well as bacterial infectious diseases due to increasing resistance to antibacterial drugs, especially in persons with immunodeficiencies.
