2. Viral Infections in Hyper IgM Syndrome
Hyper IgM Syndrome is a genetic immune disorder that impairs the body's ability to produce certain antibodies, particularly IgG and IgA, while increasing levels of IgM antibodies. This deficiency makes individuals more susceptible to infections, especially viral infections. In people with this condition, the immune system struggles to recognize and combat viruses effectively, leading to recurrent illnesses. Since their immune response is not balanced, serious viral infections can become more frequent and severe, affecting overall health and increasing the risk of complications. Proper management and treatments are essential to help prevent and address these infections.
