Guest guest Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 . i have never heard of that. IVIG builds up the immune system to fight all bacteria as far as I know. the ID doc will know if not go back to the immunologist, he or the ID doc should order the IVIG. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
