If I remember correctly, you receive IVIG. This can (and will) alter some lab results. Keep in mind that each dose of this product comes from about 2000 donors, so you might show positive results that didn't derive from you.

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.
