Résumé

As intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) exhibit immunomodulatory and antifibrotic properties, they may be a relevant treatment for systemic sclerosis (SSc). The objectives of this work were thus to report on the efficacy and safety of IVIG in a population of SSc patients and to review the available literature.
