[Economic evaluation of at home subcutaneous and intravenous immunoglobulin substitution].

Background: Intravenous (IV) and subcutaneous (SC) immunoglobulin (Ig) administration is a safe and an efficacious treatment in patients with IgG deficiency. Home administration of IV Ig and SC Ig has recently been approved in France. Most of the patients treated in hospital ask for home treatment.

[Pharmaceutical contribution to the non specific challenge in bronchial provocation tests].

Aerosols of methacholine chloride are used in inhalation tests to measure non-specific bronchial responsiveness. Inhalation challenge solutions are not commercially available neither by pharmaceutical industry nor in France by the PCH-APHP. To reply to doctor's request, dilute concentrations of methacholine must be prepared properly in order to protect the patient and to assure doctor of test reproductibility.
