Antibody Deficiency Disorders

Antibody Deficiency Disorders are conditions where the immune system cannot produce enough antibodies, which are proteins that help fight infections. This deficiency makes individuals more susceptible to recurrent infections, particularly from bacteria. The underlying causes can vary, including genetic factors or other health issues. Diagnosis often involves blood tests to measure antibody levels, and treatment may include immunoglobulin therapy to boost immunity. Early recognition and management are crucial to improving quality of life and preventing severe infections. Understanding these disorders is vital for effective care and support.
