Rare Immune Deficiencies

Rare immune deficiencies are a group of inherited disorders that affect the body's ability to fight off infections and other health problems. This can leave individuals more susceptible to serious illnesses including cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases. People with rare immune deficiencies often require lifelong treatment and care, both to manage the symptoms and to reduce their risk of serious illness. Treatment typically includes medications and therapies that bolster the immune system, as well as special diets and lifestyle modifications to help the body fight infection. Proper diagnosis and treatment of rare immune deficiencies can help improve quality of life and prevent serious medical complications.
