Intravenous Immunoglobulin in Autoimmune Neuromuscular Diseases
JAMA 291:2367-2375, Dalakas,M.C., 2004
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Intravenous immunoglobulin is effective in many autoimmune neurologic diseases, but its spectrum of efficacy, especially as first-line therapy, and the appropriate dose for long-term maintenance therapy are not fully established. Further controlled studies of IVIG, combined with a dose-finding effect, pharmacoeconomics, and quality-of-life assessments, are warranted to improve the evidence base for clinical practice.
