2

Immunomodulatory Therapy

Agents that modulate immune function to address abnormal leukocyte responses in conditions like chronic granulomatous disease or leukocyte adhesion deficiency. Helps restore appropriate immune surveillance.

medication
3

Immunological Function Assessment

Regular testing of leukocyte function including oxidative burst assays, migration studies, and phagocytic capacity. Monitors disease status and treatment response over time.

Additional treatment options

Antimicrobial Prophylaxis

Preventive antibiotics and antifungals for patients with documented leukocyte dysfunction and recurrent infections. Reduces infection frequency while underlying condition is managed.
