摘要
Management of recurrent allograft rejection is a risky proposition, especially in the presence of infections. Both steroids and antibody therapy worsen the infection risk. We successfully treated steroid-resistant rejection with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) in two patients who had concomitant infections. IVIG should be considered the treatment of choice for management of steroid-resistant rejection in the presence of serious infection.
