Rash and SCIG Viva

[Guest guest]

I was wondering if anyone has a reaction of a rash with vivagloben? My son

6, on viva SCIG for 5 ½ months, is having rashing all over his body. Now

he’s always been a rashy dry skin kid. As a matter of fact when he was 6

days old he broke out head to toe with the worst rash you’ve ever seen. His

rashes were always classified as suboeric dermatitis, but eczema runs in the

family. Anyway he is PID IGA def, IGG subclass 2 and 3 deficient, and

probably not “remembering” his titers/etc due to constant sicknesses, this

the SCIG. I’ve read about some of your children getting allergic reactions

to SCIG, how do you know it’s a reaction? We’ve had slight rashing after

past SCIG infusions, but this is getting extreme.

Thanks in advance,

Michele

We knew it was an allergic reaction because it started as a small rash and then,

as it got larger each infusion, he began looking sick and running a fever. The

first 2 times it happened, he was put on Keflex, thinking it was a skin

infection, like he usually gets. Then each week the reaction got worse, and

occurred sooner and sooner, until the last time as soon as the med went into the

skin, the fever and the rash began.

It was the progressive nature of the reaction, which indicated allergic, rather

then his traditional skin rashes.

We have had not problem with the more diluted products such as gammagard. There

may also be a perservative in the product. That is generally what most people

are allergic to . I surely would try another product before giving up on Sub Q.
