“…Plusieurs études in vitro et in vivo chez l'animal ont montré une réelle efficacité des IGIV, qui permettent de neutraliser l'effet de certaines toxines et de diminuer la réponse inflammatoire. Une revue de la littérature récente, concernant la place des IGIV en réanimation, identifie les chocs toxiniques comme l'une des principales indications, justifiant la perfusion d'IGIV [16]. Jusqu'alors associées à l'antibiothérapie, elles diminuaient les défaillances d'organes sans toutefois diminuer la mortalité.…”

“…Reduction of circulating pathogenic immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrations can have therapeutic benefit, and is currently achieved by plasmapheresis, specifically immunoadsorption 1 or by intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), although IVIg may have additional mechanisms of action beyond this. 2,3 However, these current treatments occupy time in specialized units and can be associated with considerable side effects and health economic implications. 1 , 4 An alternative, more specific approach to reduce plasma IgG in autoimmune conditions, such as accelerated catabolism of endogenous IgG, could benefit patients and address significant unmet clinical needs.…”

“…Its effect is likely mediated through decreased levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-a), increased levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1Ra, blocking Fc receptor), inhibition of the complement pathway, and suppression of adhesion molecules. 60,102,103 IVIG is postulated to down-regulate Fas-mediated keratinocyte apoptosis, which makes it an attractive choice in the treatment of acute SJS/TEN. 28 There have been multiple studies examining the efficacy of IVIG in SJS/TEN patients, and the results have been inconsistent regarding survival rates and length of hospitalizations.…”
