3. Chronic Infections Associated with DiGeorge Syndrome

DiGeorge Syndrome is a genetic condition that affects the development of the immune system, particularly the thymus, which is crucial for fighting infections. People with this syndrome often face chronic infections because their bodies struggle to produce enough healthy immune cells. This vulnerability can lead to frequent illnesses, such as respiratory infections, skin infections, and other illnesses that a healthy immune system would typically fend off. Managing these chronic infections often requires ongoing medical care and support to help these individuals stay as healthy as possible.
