- Abstract
Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is often responsive to treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg), but the optimal dose and intervals of IVIg maintenance treatment have not been established. Increase in IgG concentration (ΔIgG) after IVIg infusion has recently been identified as determinant of outcome in Guillain-Barré syndrome. ΔIgG may therefore represent a potentially useful biomarker to optimise IVIg dosing in patients with MMN.
