Study examines the use of intravenous immunoglobulin in inflammatory muscle diseases

Intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIg) are increasingly being used in the treatment of idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM) - particularly in complex or treatment-resistant cases. In a large international study led by the Clinical Department of Rheumatology at the Medical University of Vienna, a comprehensive overview of the real-world use of IVIg in clinical practice worldwide has now been compiled for the first time. The results, published in EULAR Rheumatology Open, reveal significant differences in the use of IVIg between countries, specialisms and healthcare systems, and highlight existing gaps between clinical practice and evidence.
