Immune Deficiencies

Immune deficiencies occur when the body's immune system isn't working properly, making it harder for children to fight off infections and illnesses. In pediatric allergy and immunology, this means that a child's immune response may be weakened due to genetic factors, medical conditions, or certain treatments. As a result, children with immune deficiencies may experience frequent infections, allergies, or autoimmune issues. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to help manage their health and improve their quality of life, often involving immunoglobulin therapy or medications to strengthen their immune system.
