How is agammaglobulinemia treated?

Treatment for agammaglobulinemia may include:

Immune globulin replacement: Intravenous immune globulin (IVIg) is the standard treatment for agammaglobulinemia. IVIg provides the body with the antibodies it needs to fight infection. It is given every two to four weeks.

Antibiotics: Antibiotics may be prescribed to prevent or treat infections.

Bone marrow transplant: In some cases, a bone marrow transplant may be necessary. This involves taking healthy stem cells from a donor and transplanting them into the patient's body.

Other medications: Other medications, such as corticosteroids, may be prescribed to reduce inflammation and improve immune function.

Regular medical care: People with agammaglobulinemia should have regular medical check-ups to monitor their condition and check for any complications.
