Guest guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Hi all, Last week a friend of mine, who's also a pediatrician with a child with ASD, thought it would be a good idea to check my sons Varicella titers. After reviewing his vaccinations and his history of immune disorders, it was pretty obvious that his health declined after the MMR and Varicella which was given along with the HIB. has persistent low grade fevers, cannot get off antibiotics, and like most of our kids does well on antivirals.(Valtrex) She was curious to see what his Varicella titers were. Well, now we have a problem, as he still has a detectable level of IgM to Varicella, and a high ,ACIF (IgG). He received his vaccination eight years ago. He should have cleared the IgM within weeks to a few months. Last week he was also diagnosed with a IgG deficiency, and after reading about this, he should never have been given many of his vaccinations, especially Varicella, OPV and MMR. What I'm worried about is that he may have Varicella circulating in his CSF affecting his brain. Has anyone had a similar issue with their child and does anyone know of a GREAT infectious disease doctor that treats children on the spectrum ? Also, I was thinking about Dr. Singh in Utah. Has anyone had any experience with him? (neuroimmunologist) Thanks so much, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
