Seven cases of IVIG therapy (0.5 g/kg) in PG (all data are from Kreuter et al. [13])

Age, gender	Associated disease	Concurrent immunosuppression	Treatment response
47, F	ankylosing spondylitis	SGC	complete
63, F	monoclonal gammopathy (IgA)	SGC, MMF, CSA	complete
31, M	ankylosing spondylitis	SGC, AZA, IFX	complete
79, F	monoclonal gammopathy (IgA)	SGC	complete
40, F	ulcerative colitis	SGC	major
49, F	ulcerative colitis	SGC, AZA, CSA	major
81, F	ulcerative colitis	SGC, CSA	complete

The authors defined all clinical responses – there is no uniform standard for clinical response in PG.

AZA = Azathioprine; CSA = cyclosporine A; IFX = infliximab; MMF = mycophenolate mofetil; SGC = systemic glucocorticoids.
