RE: Gamma Globulin

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the clarification. My daughter has primary immune deficiency and

requires monthly IVIG. I read every package insert of anything that goes into

her now and both her ped and her immunologist are aware of the adverse reaction

she had to her vaccines and my feelings about thimerosal (altho they don't share

the feeling)....I was afraid I missed something and was putting mercury right

back into her as we're trying to get it out.

RE: Kawasaki Disease. My daughter's immunologist is also an infectious disease

specialist and was the first doctor in the US to diagnose and treat KD outside

Japan.

[ ] gamma globulin

Gamma globulin contained thimerosal back when I got it (before going to South

America in 1980) but apparently doesn't anymore. Sorry for the confusion.

" Thimerosal is no longer used as a preservative in US-licensed immune globulin

products, such as intravenous immune globulin, hepatitis B immune globulin, and

varicella immune globulin, with the exception of a few immune globulin

preparations for intramuscular administration and some Rho (D) immune globulins "

I think I had a shot of gamma globulin after the birth of my first son 39

years ago because we had the RH factor. I think that is what it was.

Subject: [ ] Gamma Globulin

Someone mentioned the use of gamma globulin. I just remembered that when I

was living in Dallas and became pregnant, I was exposed to measles. I

immediately reported it to my OB/GYN. He told me he could give me gamma

globulin injections, but they had to come from 5 people who definitely had

the same measles as the child to be effective. He said that not many people

would know for certain if they had roseola or not. I called my mother and

she said yes, but the doctor disputed that, because at the time, people

didn't keep diaries and some never saw doctors for measles. They just came

and went. My friend who brought the child to my home didn't know she was

coming down with measles. According to the following article, it is rarely

used, except for certain conditions.
