Abstract
- Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy has been used to treat various immune-mediated diseases. Its utility in dermatology continues to expand, including treatment for autoimmune blistering disease, graft-versus-host disease, and dermatomyositis. It is generally considered safe, and serious adverse effects such as anaphylaxis, renal tubular necrosis or aseptic meningitis rarely occur. Furthermore, adverse skin reactions very rarely occur, but can include urticaria, pruritus, eczema, alopecia, lichenoid dermatitis or pompholyx. We describe a case of a 48-year-old man who developed vesicular eczema on his palms and soles after administration of intravenous immunoglobulin therapy for encephalomyelopathy.
