Exhibit 23.1

                     Consent of Independent Accountants


The Board of Directors
IGI, Inc.

The audits referred to in our report dated March 1, 2002 except as to the
second paragraph of Note 15, which is as of March 13, 2002, included the
related financial statement schedule as of December 31, 2001 and for each of
the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2001, included in this
annual report on Form 10-K of IGI, Inc.  This financial statement schedule
is the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on this financial statement schedule based on our audits.
In our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in
relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole,
presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein
as of December 31, 2001 and for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 2001.

Our report dated March 1, 2002 except as to the second paragraph of Note 15,
which is as of March 13, 2002, contains an explanatory paragraph that states
that the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has
negative working capital and a stockholders' deficit as of December 31,
2001.  These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern.  The consolidated financial statements and
financial statement schedule do not include any adjustments that might
result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

We consent to the incorporation by reference in the registration statements
on Form S-8 (No. 33-35047, No. 33-43212, No. 33-63700, No. 33-65249, No.

No. 33-43212, No. 333-47006 and No. 333-61716) of IGI, Inc. of our report
dated March 1, 2002, relating to the consolidated balance sheets of IGI,
Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2001 and 2000 and the related
consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity
(deficit) for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31,
2001, which report appears in the December 31, 2001 annual report on Form
10-K of IGI, Inc.
