Talk to your doctor about what results can be effected by the IVIG. But I would suspect that EBV is one of them.
Hi,
You are right I do get IVIG. However, I tested positive once before for EBV well before getting IVIG that's why I was concerned about it being chronic.

That is a good point you made though. I don't know why but I never thought about IVIG being able to change lab results. I was only thinking it could change my antibody levels. I will talk to my doctor about that.
