AB  - Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) is commonly used for a wide range of diagnoses, 
      by multiple pediatric subspecialists. We report two cases of hepatitis B 
      screening results post IVIG infusion, where positive anti-Hepatitis B core 
      antigen serology tests indicated possible occult hepatitis infection, leading to 
      a delay in care. However, serial antibody testing showed results consistent with 
      the passive transfer of antibodies.
