How are PIDs Treated?

Treatment strategies for PIDs aim to restore immune function and manage symptoms. They may include:
- Immunoglobulin replacement therapy: Provides the necessary antibodies to help fight infections.
- Antibiotic prophylaxis: Prevents recurrent infections.
- Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT): Can be curative for certain PIDs by replacing defective immune cells with healthy ones.
- Gene therapy: An emerging treatment that aims to correct genetic defects at the molecular level.
