title: [Intravenous immunoglobulins in bone marrow transplantation].
abstract: Intravenous immunoglobulins have a role also in the prevention of infections after a bone marrow transplantation. Even if a reduction of CMV pneumonia is reported it is not clear whether such an effect is due to a direct antiviral activity or it is mediated through an immune modulation that reduces GVHD and then the immune suppression. We are currently using i.v.Ig at a dose of 100 mg/kg/day within a protocol for GVHD prophylaxis after a mismatched BMT.
