The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has spread rapidly in China. Until now, no definite effective treatment has been identified. We reported on 3 patients with severe COVID-19 who received high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) with satisfactory recovery. Based on these observations, randomized studies of high-dose IVIg should be considered in deteriorating patients infected with COVID-19.
2019年冠状病毒病(COVID-19)疫情在中国迅速蔓延。截至目前,尚未确定明确有效的治疗方法。我们报告了3例重症COVID-19患者接受大剂量静脉注射免疫球蛋白(IVIg)治疗后恢复良好的情况。基于这些观察结果,对于病情恶化的COVID-19感染患者,应考虑进行大剂量IVIg的随机研究。
