Selective deficiency of immunoglobulin g [igg] subclasses - what does this mean

Selective deficiency of immunoglobulin g (igg) subclasses is caused by a decrease in the production of specific antibodies due to a lack of certain immune system components. this can be caused by genetic disorders, infections, or certain medical conditions. the result is an impaired ability to fight off infections, leading to increased susceptibility to certain illnesses.

What happens during the disease - selective deficiency of immunoglobulin g [igg] subclasses

Selective deficiency of immunoglobulin g subclasses is caused by genetic defects in the b-cell maturation process, leading to impaired production of igg subclasses. this defect in b-cell maturation can be caused by gene mutations, a deficiency of certain hormones, or an underlying autoimmune disorder. as a result, the patient will have reduced levels of igg subclasses and an increased risk of recurrent and severe bacterial infections.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete blood count
  • Serum protein electrophoresis
  • Quantitative immunoglobulin assay
  • IgG subclasses assay
  • Flow cytometry
  • T-cell functional assays
  • Cell-mediated immunity testing

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To replenish IgG subclasses in the body.
  • Administering intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy
  • Replacing lost immunoglobulins with IgG concentrate
  • Providing nutritional support
  • Prescribing antibiotics to prevent infections
  • Performing regular blood tests to monitor IgG levels
  • Providing vaccinations to prevent infection
  • Providing education and lifestyle advice on how to reduce the risk of infection

Selective deficiency of immunoglobulin g [igg] subclasses - Prevention

Prevention of selective deficiency of immunoglobulin g [igg] subclasses involves immunizing against common childhood diseases, such as measles, mumps, and rubella, as well as avoiding exposure to certain infections, such as epstein-barr virus. additionally, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, as a healthy diet can help to support the immune system. supplementation with probiotics may also be beneficial in some cases.
