title: Immunotherapy in perinatal infection.
abstract: Though intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) have been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of some perinatal viral infections like varicella and possibly cytomegalovirus. The main thrust of interest has been directed towards the prevention and treatment of perinatal bacterial infections. This paper reviews literature published thus far (October 1991) on the use of IVIG in perinatal sepsis.
