Use of parenteral human globulin in acute, chronic, and recurrent urinary tract infections

Abstract

Sixty four patients with recurrent or chronic urinary tract infections without evidence of disease demonstrated by conventional diagnostic methods underwent serum immunoglobulin studies. Only 23 were shown to have a deficiency of immune globulins, IgA, IgM, or IgG. Treatment with parenteral globulins resulted in sterile urine for the three-year follow-up period. Other urologists are urged to try this treatment under the conditions outlined.
