Efficacy of IntraVenous ImmunoGlobulins in Toxic Shock Syndromes: a Paediatric Pilot Study

Single administration of IVIG 2 g/kg within the 12 hours following PICU admission (or following the manifestation of the first signs of shock). The bottles of IVIG used will contain 10 g of proteins in 100 ml of solution. Thus, to reach a concentration of 2 g/kg, will be administered 1 bottle per 5 kg of body weight (with a maximum of 14 bottles for 70 kg patients and over).

Single administration of albumin 4% within the 12 hours following PICU admission (or following the manifestation of the first signs of shock). The solution will be given at the same volume as IVIG (that is: 1 bottle / 5 kg of body weight).
