First-line treatments
Immunoglobulin Replacement Therapy
Regular intravenous or subcutaneous immunoglobulin infusions provide passive immunity against common pathogens. Dosing is individualized based on body weight and trough IgG levels to maintain protective antibody titers.
Pharmacological management with first-line agents
Active treatment with regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is recommended.
Antibiotic Prophylaxis
Continuous prophylactic antibiotics, typically trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, reduce frequency of bacterial infections. This serves as adjunctive protection between immunoglobulin infusions and during periods of subtherapeutic antibody levels.
Additional treatment options
Immunoglobulin Level Tracking
Regular measurement of serum immunoglobulin concentrations, particularly IgG trough levels, guides dosing adjustments and infusion scheduling. This ensures adequate protection throughout the dosing interval.
monitoringPsychosocial Support Services
Counseling and support groups address anxiety related to chronic illness management and frequent medical visits. Psychological intervention helps patients develop coping strategies for living with a primary immunodeficiency.
