Clin Infect Dis. 2018 Mar 19;66(7):1116-1119. doi: 10.1093/cid/cix977.

Abstract

For decades, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) has provided safe and effective therapy for immunodeficient patients. This proof-of-principle study describes a novel approach to generate personalized IVIg for chronic, antibiotic-resistant infection in real time.
