Experience with immunoglobulins in thyroid autoimmunity

P Lecomte et al. Clin Exp Rheumatol. 1996 May-Jun.

Abstract

The physiopathology of Graves' ophthalmopathy is poorly understood. Therefore, the best treatment of Graves' ophthalmopathy is still a matter of debate. Steroids, X-ray therapy, surgery and more recently cyclosporine, plasma exchange and somatostatine analogs have been tried. There is no doubt that we are dealing with an autoimmune process. The use of immunoglobulins has been shown to be safe and efficient.
