Re: Low IGA and IMGG

[Guest guest]

I don't know the answer - but I wonder - can chronic

viral infections cause low IgA? I know in the past

that IgG levels have improved due to antiviral

treatment, but do not remember anyone saying the same

happened with IgA... Good question to ask him if he

is able to attend chat tomorrow night...

My oldest has received imgg shots for about 2 years,

and my youngest just started receiving them. We have

had no problems with them. Dr. Goldberg ordered them.

I give the shots. It's not an easy shot to

give--much thicker than kutapressin. Barb
