Hi, Well, it could be that you have a transfusion reaction or an infection from the transfusion. Some of the symptoms include fever, anemia (despite getting blood), and fatigue, chills, back pain, skin flushing etc. Or you may just have a virus. It can occur several days after the transfusion. How long has it been since the transfusion? If it has been weeks then it is not likely. The results you gave shows both the IgG was positive as well as the IgM. This means that it is a past infection. So you have immunity to it. >10 just means anything above ten so it was positive otherwise the result would have been <10. Most people have had both Herpes and CMV by the time they are adults. So it is not likely to be a new infection from that. So if you had a recent transfusion I would report your symptoms to the doctor that ordered the transfusion. I'm surprised the doctor didn't say anything about this. Did he not know you had recently had all this done? If he did perhaps it is more likely a regular virus. it will pass. But the extreme fatigue makes me think you could be iron deficient or still low in blood or a reaction to the transfusion like I said. I would still see another doctor or have them check your blood and do a complete blood count at least.
