How To Treat Churg-Strauss Syndrome

Immune Globulin

Immune globulin is created from donated plasma that is screened and purified to be transplanted into patients.

As with most treatments, there are potential side effects of utilizing this type of replacement therapy, the most common of which are flu-like symptoms.
