title: [Remission of vitiligo during treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin: report of one case].
abstract: Vitiligo is associated with other autoimmune diseases. We report a 52-year-old male with a Sjögren syndrome that was treated with monthly pulses of intravenous immunoglobulin for a chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy. The neurological disorder responded adequately to the treatment and the patient also noted a marked remission of his vitiligo with almost compete re-pigmentation of the scalp and face and partial repigmentation of other areas.
