Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 A friends wife had Parvovirus B19 2 years ago as an adult and she hasn't been the same since. Her Docs have documented 2 separate spikes of IgM antibodies (and this year she has a 4.9 titer for IgG (IgM is in range. range is negative=<1.0) She's got very bad joint pain - can hardly get out of bed- takes an hr or more to get going - is starting to feel like she has chronic fatigue on top of it. In any case- she is looking at IVIG (IV immunogobulins)..any body know the side effects of that? OR- and this is a stretch - any anti virals that would work on Parvo.? I've read where researchers now think there's a defect in someone humoral immune system if Parvo becomes chronic... hmmmmmmmm maybe it's supressing that arm of the immune system?
