Primary Immunodeficiency disorders in children
Primary immunodeficiency disorders in children are a group of rare genetic conditions that impair the immune system, making it difficult for the body to fight infections. Children with PIDs may experience frequent, severe, or unusual infections that can affect various parts of the body, such as the respiratory system, skin, and digestive tract. Early diagnosis is crucial, as timely treatment with immunoglobulin therapy, antibiotics, and sometimes bone marrow transplants can help manage symptoms and prevent complications. Genetic counseling and family education are also important aspects of care to support the child's long-term health. Advances in gene therapy offer hope for more definitive treatments in the future.
