Agammaglobulinemia

Agammaglobulinemia is a rare immunodeficiency disorder where the body cannot produce certain antibodies effectively, which are crucial for fighting infections. This condition often results from genetic mutations that affect immune system development. Individuals with agammaglobulinemia are more susceptible to infections, especially from bacteria. They may experience frequent respiratory infections and need regular medical treatment, such as antibody infusions, to help manage their immune response. Early diagnosis and appropriate care can significantly improve quality of life for those affected.
