cobbiemommy Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Ds, 15, has impetigo again on his back. Back to the regular pediatrician again. This makes the third case this year. Hopefully, this will help make the case for IVIg because his streptococcal antibodies are so low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philamom Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) We recently got coverage again under subclass defiency. Dd only mounted a response to 2 of the 14 Pneumococcal Serotypes and is low in Subclass 2 (IgG). Same results we had when first tested, a few years back.

prkamp Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Our dd9 had impetigo around her mouth about 10 times last year! They say she has staphylococ A in her nose and since we put bactroban (an AB) IN her nose, she is symptom free (eh...I mean: no impetigo any more). If she forgets it 1 day, it'll be back in a sec. So for us the deal is: stop the staphylococ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
