Gupta, Sudhir; And Others
Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, v26 n4 p439-52 Aug 1996
Children (ages 3-12) with autism (n=25) were given intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) treatments at 4-week intervals for at least 6 months. Marked abnormality of immune parameters was observed in subjects, compared to age-matched controls. IVIG treatment resulted in improved eye contact, speech, behavior, echolalia, and other autistic features. (PB)
