RODRIGUEZ OROZCO, Alain R.. Action mechanisms of human immunoglobulin in pediatric dermatological diseases. Rev Cubana Pediatr [online]. 2007, vol.79, n.4. ISSN 0034-7531.

The use of immunomodulators in pediatric dermatology has turned into a need of contemporary clinical practice. On the other hand, the continuous discovery of molecules involved in the physiopathology of many dermatological diseases associated with immunological disorders leads to the constant  review of the application of these immunomodulators. This paper is aimed at showing some action mechanisms that justify the use of human immunoglobulin in some pediatric dermatological diseases and allows physicians to discuss the convenience of its utilization in the light of the present physiopathology of these diseases and of the patient’s state.

Palabras clave : Dermatological diseases; human immunoglobulin; physiopathology; immunopathogeny; immunomodulators; pediatrics.
