Abstract

Objective: Intravenous immunoglobulin preparations have been used in the treatment of primary immunodeficiency for many years. Recently, immunoglobulin administration via the subcutaneous route has become popular. Subcutaneously administered immunoglobulin provides more stable serum immunoglobulin levels and has a lower incidence of systemic adverse effects than the intravenous route. This method increases the quality of the patient’s life by self administration or parental administration at home. Immunoglobulin preparations designed for subcutaneous administration have been available in Europe and the US since 2006. Although subcutaneous immunoglobulin preparations are not available in Turkey, the subcutaneous administration route has recently been included in the instructions of the three intravenous products with 10% concentration. Our aim was to use one of these intravenous immunoglobulin preparations via the subcutaneous route and describe its advantages and disadvantages. Materials and Methods: Six primary immunodeficiency patients were selected from our clinic. The procedure was described and informed consent obtained. They had been treated with intravenous immunoglobulin for the last few years. Their monthly immunoglobulin dosage was calculated and roughly divided into weekly doses. The first few administrations took place under medical supervision at the hospital until the patients and/or their family learned the procedure. Results: They were encouraging with fewer side effects, better life quality and lower infection rates in our small sample of patients. Conclusion: In this article, we describe our experience with 6 primary immunodeficiency patients of our clinic in whom we successfully used intravenous immunoglobulin preparation via the subcutaneous route.
静脉制剂皮下免疫球蛋白替代治疗经验
目的:静脉注射免疫球蛋白制剂用于治疗原发性免疫缺陷已有多年历史。最近,通过皮下途径给予免疫球蛋白变得很流行。皮下注射免疫球蛋白提供了更稳定的血清免疫球蛋白水平,并且与静脉注射途径相比,全身不良反应的发生率更低。这种方法通过在家自我管理或父母管理来提高患者的生活质量。自2006年以来,设计用于皮下给药的免疫球蛋白制剂已在欧洲和美国上市。尽管土耳其没有皮下免疫球蛋白制剂,但最近三种浓度为10%的静脉注射产品的说明书中都包含了皮下给药途径。我们的目的是通过皮下途径使用其中一种静脉注射免疫球蛋白制剂,并描述其优缺点。材料与方法:从我院临床筛选6例原发性免疫缺陷患者。对手术过程进行了描述,并获得了知情同意书。在过去的几年里,他们一直接受静脉注射免疫球蛋白的治疗。计算他们每月的免疫球蛋白剂量,并大致分为每周剂量。最初几次给药是在医院的医疗监督下进行的,直到患者和/或其家人学会了该程序。结果:在我们的小样本患者中,它们的副作用更少,生活质量更好,感染率更低,令人鼓舞。结论:在本文中,我们描述了我们临床上6名原发性免疫缺陷患者的经验,他们成功地通过皮下途径使用了静脉注射免疫球蛋白制剂。

期刊介绍: Asthma Allergy Immunology has been published three times a year in April, August and December as the official and periodical journal of the Turkish National Society of Allergy and Clinical Immunology since 2003. All articles published in the journal have been available online since 2003. A peer reviewed system is used in evaluation of the manuscripts submitted to Asthma Allergy Immunology. The official language of the journal is English. The aim of the journal is to present advances in the field of allergic diseases and clinical immunology to the readers. In accordance with this goal, manuscripts in the format of original research, review, case report, articles about clinical and practical applications and editorials, short report and letters to the editor about allergic diseases and clinical immunology are published in the journal. The target reader population of the Asthma Allergy Immunology includes specialists and residents of allergy and clinical immunology, pulmonology, internal medicine, pediatrics, dermatology and otolaryngology as well as physicians working in other fields of medicine interested in allergy and immunological diseases.
