Guest guest Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 THe vivaglobin website refers to parvo as one possible adverse reaction to Ig replacement.....not theirs specifically. They have had no cases of Parvo reported during their clinical trials. In Canada, in a study of adverse reactions, there was 1 case of B-19 parvo associated with IVIG reported in a study involving 100 patients. While the processes used to de-activate viral and bacterial agents has drastically improved the safety of IVIG, it is not 100% fail safe.....there are still reported cases despite processes used. While the chances of transmitting something are extremely low, they are, never-the- less, still there. The information is not limited to a single resource, if you query " IVIG adverse reactions+parvovirus " , many reports come up that state the fact that the products are not 100% safe....including safe from parvo.
