RESUMO
High dose intravenous immunoglobulin (IVG) is increasingly used in a broad range of immune mediated diseases. Thrombosis was exceptionally reported as a complication of this therapy. We describe three cases of thrombotic complications during or soon after IVIG treatment: myocardial infarction in a man and cerebral infarctions in an elderly man, associated with peripheral ischemia in a woman. In addition we review the published cases in the literature and discuss the possible etiologic factors.
