Antibody Deficiency

Antibody deficiency is a health condition where the body does not produce enough antibodies, which are proteins that help fight off infections. This can make a person more susceptible to illnesses, as antibodies play a crucial role in the immune system by identifying and neutralizing harmful bacteria and viruses. People with this deficiency may experience frequent infections, take longer to recover, or have recurring health issues. Treatment often involves immunoglobulin therapy, which provides the necessary antibodies from healthy donors to help strengthen the immune response. Regular medical check-ups are also important for managing the condition.
