3. Recurrent Respiratory Tract Infections in XLA

Recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTIs) in XLA, or X-linked agammaglobulinemia, are frequent lung and throat infections due to a genetic condition affecting the immune system. In XLA, the body cannot produce certain antibodies, which are essential for fighting infections. This deficiency makes individuals more vulnerable to bacteria and viruses, particularly in the respiratory system. As a result, they may experience repeated bouts of illnesses like pneumonia or bronchitis, leading to ongoing health challenges. Prompt medical attention and treatment are crucial for managing these infections and supporting overall health.
