Although this treatment is expensive, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy is commonly used in chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP), Kawasaki's disease, and other autoimmune disorders that are particularly severe.

First used intramuscularly in the 1950s, since the 1980s, intravenous transfusions of IVIG have become an important therapeutic option.
