Guest guest Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 Thanks for the clarification. My daughter has primary immune deficiency and requires monthly IVIG. I read every package insert of anything that goes into her now and both her ped and her immunologist are aware of the adverse reaction she had to her vaccines and my feelings about thimerosal (altho they don't share the feeling)....I was afraid I missed something and was putting mercury right back into her as we're trying to get it out. RE: Kawasaki Disease. My daughter's immunologist is also an infectious disease specialist and was the first doctor in the US to diagnose and treat KD outside Japan. [ ] gamma globulin Gamma globulin contained thimerosal back when I got it (before going to South America in 1980) but apparently doesn't anymore. Sorry for the confusion. S S " Thimerosal is no longer used as a preservative in US-licensed immune globulin products, such as intravenous immune globulin, hepatitis B immune globulin, and varicella immune globulin, with the exception of a few immune globulin preparations for intramuscular administration and some Rho (D) immune globulins " ---------------------------------------------------------- Franchise Click to make millions by owning your own franchise. http://tagline.excite.com/fc/BK72PcZael0VU2Ji7wqrBwVfQA0Xs21JqjhdedTUsNXxfgg803Z\ gVC/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I think I had a shot of gamma globulin after the birth of my first son 39 years ago because we had the RH factor. I think that is what it was. ???? _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Lottie Duthu Sent: Friday, March 13, 2009 10:39 PM CML Subject: [ ] Gamma Globulin Someone mentioned the use of gamma globulin. I just remembered that when I was living in Dallas and became pregnant, I was exposed to measles. I immediately reported it to my OB/GYN. He told me he could give me gamma globulin injections, but they had to come from 5 people who definitely had the same measles as the child to be effective. He said that not many people would know for certain if they had roseola or not. I called my mother and she said yes, but the doctor disputed that, because at the time, people didn't keep diaries and some never saw doctors for measles. They just came and went. My friend who brought the child to my home didn't know she was coming down with measles. According to the following article, it is rarely used, except for certain conditions. http://tinyurl. <http://tinyurl.com/cqsnm3> com/cqsnm3 Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
