| Summary: | <em>Medications with intravenous immunoglobulin G (IVIG) had established a reputation of effective drugs in pediatric practice in treatment of initial immunodeficiency and some autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

The choice of the drug to the patient should be based not only on its quality but on peculiarities of patient’s state.</em><br /><strong><em>Key words: newborns, intravenous immunoglobulin, autoimmune diseases, initial immunodeficiency.</em></strong><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>(<em><em>Voprosy sovremennoi pediatrii — </em></em>Current Pediatrics. – 2010;9(4):<em>114-118</em>)</em></span> |
