Immunodeficiency Disorders in Children

Immunodeficiency disorders in children occur when the immune system, which protects the body from infections, is not functioning properly. This can be due to genetic factors, certain infections, or illnesses that weaken the immune response. As a result, affected children are more vulnerable to frequent infections, difficulty recovering from illnesses, and complications from vaccines. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to managing these disorders, and may include medications, immunotherapy, or sometimes stem cell transplants, aiming to help the child lead a healthier life and reduce the risk of serious infections.
