  • Title: [The use of intravenous 7S immunoglobulins at high doses in HIV-related immunological pathology].
    Author: Fiori GP.
    Journal: Clin Ter; 1994 Apr; 144(4):301-5. PubMed ID: 8205754.
    Abstract:
    24 AIDS patients, both males and females, aged from 3 to 52 years, received high-dose i.v. 7S immunoglobulin (220-400 mg/kg, range 7.5-20 g/die). These patients were affected by HIV-related thrombocytopenia and antibiotic-resistant severe hyperpyrexia; three HIV-positive asymptomatic children with severe immunodeficiency were treated to prevent opportunistic infections. I.V. 7S immunoglobulins were well tolerated, and were found to be very effective in the therapy of thrombocytopenia and in the prevention of opportunistic infections in the asymptomatic children.
