Abstract
Recently HCV infection has been reported
in association with administration of parenteral
immunoglobulin.
In some patients HCV infection was associated
with severe, acute course, attributable
to host factors, such as immunodeficiencies.
Many of these patients developed chronic
infection.
Although this is a rare event, paediatricians
schould be aware of this risk, carry
on an active surveillance and notify all suspect
cases.
