Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 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.com/cqsnm3 Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
