Intravenous immunoglobulin therapy for resistant ocular Behçet's disease
1Department of Ophthalmology, Rambam Medical Center, POB 9602, 31096 Haifa, Israel.
Aims:
The present report was aimed at finding out whether gammaglobulin could have a role in treating ocular Behçet's disease (BD) refractory to accepted medical therapy.
Methods:
Six eyes of four patients with ocular BD refractory to steroids and cyclosporin A were treated with a course of intravenous gammaglobulin and followed up for their response to treatment.
Results:
All six eyes of all four patients showed good response to gammaglobulin therapy.
Conclusion:
Gamma globulin may have a role in treating refractory ocular BD. A wide range of controlled studies with longer follow up is needed to substantiate this impression.
