Abstract
We treated three pediatric cardiac transplant patients with chronic parvovirus viremia with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (HD-IVIG). One patient with severe T-cell lymphopenia suffered recurrent viremia and aseptic meningitis, which resolved remarkably when he was switched to highdose hyaluronidase-facilitated subcutaneous immunoglobulin (HD-SCIG-Hy). We discuss the advantages of HD-SCIG-Hy vs HD-IVIG treatment for similar cases.
