Immunoglobulins
Conditions
Brief summary
Supply of Normal Human Immunoglobulins (NHIg) has been in steady tension for almost 15 years in the world. The scarcity of raw material, manufacturing time by industries, and increase consumptions are some of the causes. These phenomena has been accentuated for two years in the context of pandemic. Faced these difficulties, the french National Medication Security Agency (ANSM) , in collaboration with health professionals and patients associations concerned, established a hierarchy of indications of NHIg to prioritize NHIg for patients without therapeutic alternative (2013 and 2019). Its use is sometimes complex, particularly in the indications where the use of NHIg must combine clinico-biological criteria and/or previous treatment lines.
