abstract：BACKGROUND:In multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN), high dose of IV immunoglobulin (IVIg) is the only established treatment. Subcutaneous self-infusion with immunoglobulin G (IgG) (SCIG) increases patient autonomy and treatment flexibility, and might be associated with fewer side effects due to lower peak IgG levels. In a...
