The "itis" part of meningitis simply means inflammation. "Aseptic" means without sepsis or infection. Aseptic meningitis indicates that the meninges (the covering of the brain and spine) are irritated and inflamed. The proteins in IVIG can cause a reaction, usually if the infusion is given too quickly, or the person is not hydrated enough, and sometimes just "cuz."
