Abstract
|
|
|
|
Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is widely used to treat various neurologic or autoimmune disorders in childhood. Aseptic meningitis has been reported as a rare complication of IVIG therapy. We describe two girls, aged 2 and 8 years, with myasthenia gravis who suffered from aseptic meningitis after an administration of high-dose IVIG. Any other etiologic agent were identified in neither case. Both patients recovered completely within a few days and left no sequelae. To our knowledge, these are the first such reported cases in children with myasthenia gravis.
