15. DiGeorge Syndrome Related Infections

DiGeorge Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a part of chromosome 22 is missing, affecting the immune system. Individuals with this syndrome often have a weakened immune response, making them more susceptible to infections. Common infections they may face include viral, bacterial, and fungal illnesses that a healthy immune system would typically fend off. Due to low levels of certain immune cells, these patients might struggle to recover from illnesses, and preventive measures, like vaccinations, become crucial. Regular medical care and monitoring help manage their health and reduce the risk of serious infections.
