A case of acute stroke in a 43 years old female patient who was receiving high-dose intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) for dermatomyositis has been published in the American Journal of Health System Pharmacy.
Although rare, stroke associated with thrombosis caused by the administration of IVIG has been reported in the literature. On the basis of the Naranjo probability scale, this adverse drug event was calculated as a probable reaction due to the administration of IVIG.
