摘要
We report a patient with pyoderma gangrenosum successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin. He had previously been treated for 4 years with high-dose corticosteroids and had developed insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Multiple corticosteroid-sparing agents had failed or were contraindicated. He developed no adverse effects from intravenous immunoglobulin, which allowed reduction of his prednisone to 3 mg/day, and his ulcer has completely healed.
