TI  - Intravenous immunoglobulin in oncology nursing practice.
PG  - 69-75
AB  - Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is a concentrated form of IgG, also known as 
      gamma globulin, that is derived from the pooled serum of a large number of 
      donors. IVIG contains many types of antibacterial and antiviral antibodies. While 
      its use in certain clinical conditions (e.g., severe combined immunodeficiency) 
      is well-established, other indications still are under investigation. Along with 
      nursing implications for use in inpatient and outpatient settings, the role of 
      IVIG in treating immune thrombocytopenic purpura, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, 
      treatment-induced neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, bone marrow transplantation, 
      and AIDS will be discussed.
