In cases of severe infections substitution therapy of immunoglobulins shall improve the course of the disease. At example of a case report the possibility of the immunosubstitution is demonstrated. 31 days after the radical vulvectomy a bacteriantoxic phlegmone of the cutis and the subcutis in the abdominal, genital and thigh regions has been occurred. The acute medical care consists of shock therapy, large incisions of the cutis and the subcutis and high level antibiotic therapy. In the following course the immunoglobulins (Gamma-Venin) were substituted. The serum concentrations of IgG, M and A were estimated. The dosage of Gamma-Venin amounted to 1,5 grams per day. This dosage is lower compared with the amounts reported from other authors.
