title: Intravenous immunoglobulin as salvage therapy in refractory pyoderma gangrenosum: report of a case and review of the literature.
abstract: Pyoderma gangrenosum is a neutrophilic dermatosis that occurs both as a primary disorder as well as secondary to an underlying disease. Due to its low prevalence there are limited data on therapeutics, particularly in refractory cases. Here, we discuss a case successfully managed with intravenous immunoglobulin and review the supporting literature.
