Subcutaneous immune globulin (SCIG) is a blood product licensed in Canada for the treatment of patients with primary immunodeficiency disease.  Unlike IVIG, which is given in a hospital, SCIG can be easily infused at home.  A provincial working group chaired by the PBCO has developed a resource kit for health authorities and/or hospitals wishing to establish SCIG home infusion programs.  The kit is provided below in PDF.  If you would like the documents in Word format, please contact the PBCO.

Resources specifically for patients are indicated with an asterix (*).
