Repeated additions of passive immunity as the mechanism of action

[edit]

This edit, like another recent one that I reverted, seems to conflate immunoglobulin therapy with passive immunity. While passive immunity is one of the potential benefits of immunoglobulin therapy, as noted in the "Medical Uses" section there are other effects and indications - so the language strongly tying this therapy with passive immunity is incorrect and inconsistent with the body of the article (something that the lede should not do). I'm not sure the article needs to say more about passive immunization than it already does, based on reliable sources. — soupvector (talk) 04:13, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a sentence to the lede - hope it helps address the perceived gap. — soupvector (talk) 04:18, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Split

[edit]

The general idea of Immunoglobulin therapy is not limited to the injection of normal human Immunoglobulin. NHIG should be split out as a drug article, so the Ig therapy page can discuss different preparations of Igs used on humans, including the proposed merge from Hyperimmune globulin (Talk:Hyperimmune_globulin#Merger_discussion). --Artoria2e5 🌉 13:24, 16 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
