title: [The treatment of demyelinating polyneuropathies of different origins with small doses of immunoglobulin G].
abstract: Application of small doses of IgG-Sandoglobulin (0.16 to 0.98 g per kg of body weight) was quite effective in 2 patients with Guillain-Barré syndrome and in 2 cases of diphtheritic polyneuropathy. These patients had a severe form of the disease with disorders of essential functions. An international course of the disease in one case of IgG treatment was observed. Meanwhile preparation was uneffective in 2 patients with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy caused by lymphoproliferative process. It is worth while to accumulate experience to define optimal doses of the drug.
