CONCLUSIONS
Very low quality evidence does not allow determining the efficacy or safety of chronic treatment with immunoglobulin in patients with treatment-refractory myasthenia gravis.
Latin American and European public sponsors do not mention or consider the use of immunoglobulin as chronic treatment. One public sponsor and one private sponsor from the United States consider its use only in those patients who have failed with the other immunomodulator treatment schemes.
The cost-effectiveness of this treatment is unknown in Argentina.
