Abstract
Intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) has proved beneficial for severe immunol ogically related cutaneous adverse reactions. We report a child with severe antiepileptic drug hypersensitivity syndrome who was successfully treated with IVIG. IVIG should be considered in the pharmacologic armamentarium of severe antiepileptic drug hypersensitivity syndrome.
