Guest guest Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hi everyone, Ivy had her first infusion last month of Intragam. She had a not so great reaction and then afterwards came down with pneumonia with bilateral pleural effusion. She has been out of the hospital for ten days and her chest xray today shows there are still some changes and some effusion left. She goes in for her second infusion on Monday and my question is this; If there is still infection on her lungs is it likely the IVIG will send her into a tail spin again because of the immune response the Intragam evokes? I asked our paed today and he was not sure. Any information would be great. I know nothing is a given and I know the first few months are the hardest but would like to be prepared, if I can. Thanking you in advance, Tiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
