hypogammaglobulinemia

In contrast with hypoalbuminemia, hypogammaglobulinemia has a relatively small effect on calcium protein binding.

Passive transfer is used prophylactically in the case of immunodeficiency diseases, such as hypogammaglobulinemia.

Hypogammaglobulinemia is a characteristic of common variable immunodeficiency.

A deficiency is known as hypogammaglobulinemia.

It is distinguished from hypogammaglobulinemia, which is a reduction in all types of gamma globulins.

Hypogammaglobulinemia.

Some immune deficiencies, such as X-linked agammaglobulinemia and hypogammaglobulinemia, result in partial or complete lack of antibodies.

A selected group of patients with documented hypogammaglobulinemia may benefit from replacement immunoglobulin therapy to reduce the risk of infection.

Having one of the following medical conditions: An inherited immune disorder (for example, hypogammaglobulinemia or Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome).

Hypogammaglobulinemia is a type of primary immune deficiency disease characterized by a reduction in all types of gamma globulins.

Hypogammaglobulinemia and depressed IgG to surface antigens of Giardia have been suggested as factors contributing to chronic infection.

Other associated autoimmune conditions are pure red cell aplasia and Good's syndrome (thymoma with combined immunodeficiency and hypogammaglobulinemia).

Other causes include inherited immunodeficiency conditions, such as combined variable immunodeficiency, IgA deficiency, and hypogammaglobulinemia.

Infectious complications in advanced disease are in part a consequence of the hypogammaglobulinemia and the inability to mount a humoral defense against bacterial or viral agents.

Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy (THI)

Complications include Richter's syndrome, hypogammaglobulinemia leading to recurrent infection, warm autoimmune hemolytic anemia in 10-15% of patients, transformation to high grade lymphoma.

In 2012 another new polyoma virus - human polyoma virus 10 - has been isolated from patient with the warts, hypogammaglobulinemia, infections and myelokathexis syndrome.

Montella L, Masci AM, Merkabaoui G, et al.: B-cell lymphopenia and hypogammaglobulinemia in thymoma patients.

We also excluded persons who had isolated deficiencies of IgA or IgM, those with hypogammaglobulinemia attributable to B-cell neoplasms ( e.g .

"And none of them have even a hypothesis how a SLID child can effect a spontaneous remission of such marked hypogammaglobulinemia with just blood transfusions as a catalyst. "

Immune deficiencies such as X-linked agammaglobulinemia, hypogammaglobulinemia (primary immune deficiencies), and acquired compromised immunity conditions (secondary immune deficiencies) featuring low antibody levels.

Mark E. Rose & David M. Lang: "Evaluating and managing hypogammaglobulinemia", Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine, Vol.

Thymoma with immunodeficiency (also known as "Good syndrome") is a condition that occurs in adults in whom hypogammaglobulinemia, deficient cell-mediated immunity, and benign thymoma may develop almost simultaneously.

The severity and persistence of infection in patients with AIDS and hypogammaglobulinemia indicates that both cell-mediated and humoral immunity are important in preventing and terminating infection.

In the case of dendritic cells deficiency, like in common variable immunodeficicency (CVID), patients suffer by hypogammaglobulinemia and by primary or secondary defects in T-cell functions.
