Does your son have a low white count? Is he nuetropenic or lymphopenic? Does he have low IgG levels? Sometimes low white blood counts can spark a consistent low grade fever. If his IgG levels are low or even low normal, he may benefit from IVIG. Ask his doctor about drawing a CBC with differential and IG levels (with subsets).

Hi,
My teen-age son has been experiencing low fevers (around 99.8-100.4)
as often as twice a week for the last few weeks (and had the same
experience last spring). There are no other symptoms, except feeling
bad--as you'd expect with a fever, and they go away within a day. He
recently completed a round of rituxan and his counts are quite good,
and isn't on any medication. We thought before that the fevers were
associated with his taking Neupogen, but he's off that medication. Has
anyone(esp. your childeren) experienced this and has anyone given you
a good explanation of it? Thanks. I will send this to both Evans
groups, I wish they could be combined!
