Diagnosis and treatment of immunodeficiencies

Immunodeficiency is a condition in which a part of the immune system does not function properly. It may be a primary, congenital immune disorder, or a secondary disorder arising in connection with another disease, treatment, or overall health condition.

When a doctor may recommend an immunology examination

A doctor may recommend an immunology examination especially in the case of:

• unusually frequent infections,
• infections with a complicated or prolonged course,
• recurrent inflammation of the sinuses, bronchi, or lungs,
• recurrent infections requiring frequent antibiotic treatment,
• unusual or hard-to-treat infections,
• suspected antibody or cellular immune disorder,
• the need to assess the immune system in relation to another underlying condition.

What the diagnostic process involves

The scope of laboratory tests is determined by the immunologist based on symptoms and available medical documentation. Not every increased rate of illness means immunodeficiency, so a specialist assessment of the overall clinical picture is important.

After evaluating the results, the doctor will recommend further monitoring, additional examinations, or an individual treatment plan.
