Nowadays IVIG is prescribed in many rheumatologic and immunologic diseases like GBS and SLE. In some texts, aseptic meningitis is one of the rare side effect of IVIG... I want to collect some new related case reports... who can help me?
earlier preparation of IVIG was not well purified
but with better technology aspetic meningitis is highly uncommon with IVIg use
due to purity of the preparations
Yes, IVIg can cause aseptic meningitis. Though rare but its a well known adverse event with IVIg
How rare? Did you see one? Is it restricted to some disease under treatment? There is an aphorism about IVIg: "In a desperate situation (usually atypical/uncertain diagnosis), one has not tried everything, if one has not tried IVIg."
So, incidence vs coincidence? Ideas about mechanism?
