Response from Dr. Feinberg
 I don't think so-- IVIG should be screened so that there are no infectious agents present. To be 100% sure you could obtain a CMV IgM test and see if the patient has evidence of recent CMV infection. Also-- there are many other ways to acquire CMV, and IVIG strikes me as one of the least likely. |
