Risk of anaphylaxis or severe hypersensitivity reactions; discontinue immediately if develop. Have appropriate medical support available and during rechallenge. Monitor for systemic immune-mediated reactions; consider discontinuing and treat if occur. Obtain urinalysis periodically. Acute underlying respiratory illness or compromised cardiac and/or respiratory function: risk of acute cardiorespiratory failure. Cardiac hypertrophy (increased risk of cardiac arrhythmia when given general anesthesia for central venous catheter placement). Infants with cardiac dysfunction may require prolonged observation times. Risk of antibody development. Infantile-onset disease: perform cross-reactive immunologic material (CRIM) assessment early in the disease course. Monitor for IgG antibody formation every 3 months for 2 years, then annually.
