Intravenous Immunoglobulin Treatment in Patients With Streptococcal Toxic Shock Syndrome in Southern Sweden: A Retrospective Population-Based Study
Although our study included a large population of patients with STSS, our results were inconclusive regarding the effect of IVIG on 30-day mortality. This study highlights the risk of bias in observational studies in rare conditions. Prospective interventional studies are needed to determine the efficacy of IVIG in patients with STSS.
