A brief video describing the use of intravenous immune globulin also known as IVIG for the treatment of rheumatic conditions.

​Following the patient perspective of Pascale Elices on this issue, Professor Kevin Rostasy spoke about the antibody-positive autoimmune encephalitis, while Dr. Ming Lim focused on antibody-negative autoimmune encephalitis. Up to 50% of children presenting with autoimmune encephalitis do not have identifiable neuronal surface antibodies. Nevertheless, these children have significant clinical morbidity and often have poorer outcome compared to children who have detectable antibodies. The diagnostic algorithm was discussed, alongside the pragmatic immunotherapeutic management strategies.

Lee et al. examine clinical characteristics and disease course, effectiveness of immunotherapy, and prognostic factors in patients with seronegative autoimmune encephalitis. Combination immunotherapy with steroids, immunoglobulin, rituximab and tocilizumab was associated with improved outcomes.

Brief overview on Hashimotos Encephalopathy, diagnostic criteria, pathophysiology, treatment and prognosis

In this video, we'll compare IVIG and Plasma Exchange in regards to the treatment of autoimmune diseases. IVIG is a therapy that uses infusions of immune globulin (IG) to help modulate the immune system. Plasma exchange is a therapy that uses plasma donation and infusion to help restore balance to the immune system. We'll discuss the benefits and drawbacks of both treatments, and let you make the decision that is best for you.
