Abstract
Home infusion of IVIG is increasingly an accepted means of administering this product. Most reported studies have relied on self-administration or parenteral administration. With this approach, only a portion of patients become eligible for home therapy. We have used home health nurses to increase the likelihood of moving a patient to the home for IVIG. Eleven of 12 patients preferred the convenience of home IVIG. Only 1 had persistent side effects associated with the infusions. Overall, the use of home health nurses to help administer IVIG was enthusiastically accepted by patients even though it did not produce significant cost savings.
