What is hypogammaglobulinemia (hypo-+ gamma + globulin +-emia)?
Hypogammaglobulinemia is a problem with the immune system in which not enough gamma globulins are produced in the blood (thus hypo- + gamma + globulin + -emia).
What is Hypogammaglobulinemia (CVID)?
Hypogammaglobulinemia Symptoms, Cancer, Prognosis, Life expectancy. CVID is caused by a lack of B-lymphocytes, which results in low levels of immunoglobins (or antibodies), hence the effect on the immune system’s functionality.
What are the risks of hypogammaglobulinemia?
People with hypogammaglobulinemia can more easily catch pneumonia, meningitis, and other infections that a healthy immune system would normally protect against. These infections can damage organs and lead to potentially serious complications. People with this condition get more frequent infections than usual. Common infections include:
What are the signs and symptoms of hypogammaglobulinemia (THI)?
Diarrhea and steatorrhea may indicate malabsorption. Babies with transient hypogammaglobulinemia (THI) usually become symptomatic 6 to 12 months after birth, with the symptoms usually consisting of frequent ear, sinus, and lung infections.
Can a UTI cause pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)?
Although UTIs and PIDs cause pain in the pelvic region and have some symptoms in common, they are generally caused by different bacteria. A woman may suffer from both at the same time, especially when they are caused by an STI (sexually transmitted infection).
