Improvement of Multifocal Motor Neuropathy During Long-Term Weekly Treatment with Human Immunoglobulin Neurol 45:987-988, van den Berg,L.H.,et al, 1995 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract In multifocal motor neuropathy(MMN),little is known of the long-term effect of human immunoglobulin(HIG)infusions as a maintenance therapy.We report a patient who improved after an initial HIG infusion of 2 g/kg and continued to improve both clinically and electrophysiologically during maintenance HIG treatment consisting of one infusion of0.4 g/kg every week.Our findings suggest that maintenance HIG therapy may lead to further improvement of MMN,and that more frequent HIG infusions at a lower dosage may be more effective.
