long-term Abx therapy and IVIG
for SCID, only use _______ -________ blood in transufsions
cytomegalovirus- negative
Group of B-cell disorders in which immunoglobulins are inadequate or absent, could occur in infancy
Hypogammaglobulinemia
Symptoms begin around 3 months of age when maternal antibodies disappear.
hypogammaglobulinemia
Secondary immunodeficiency (acquired), types 1 and 2
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
-Acquired vertically (transmission from mother) or horizontally (transmission from unprotected sex and nonsterile needles).
-Infants often have vertical transmission and adolescents have horizontal transmission.
