For patients with repeated severe reactions unresponsive to these measures, hydrocortisone, 1-2 mg/kg, intravenously, can be given 30 minutes before IVIG infusion. (references)

In a large study of bone marrow transplant recipients, reduced rates of septicemia and local infection were noted for IVIG-treated patients (500 mg/kg weekly) compared with untreated controls. (references)

The ideal dosage of IVIG has not been established, although the monthly administration of 200-800 mg/kg appears to be adequate to maintain trough Ig levels at approximately 500 mg/dL in most patients. (references)

Business

All of the oil in National Grid transformers containing PCB levels greater than 50 mg/kg (PPM) has now been treated. (references)

The UK action plan for the phasing out and destruction of PCBs mandated the retirement of all equipment containing substances with PCB concentrations over 50 mg/kg (PPM) by the end of 1999. This has been done by scheduled replacement, and in the case of electrical transformers, these have been refilled with non-PCB liquids. (references)
