common variable immunodeficiency (cvid)

How is CVID Treated in Children?


Treatment for CVID primarily involves regular immunoglobulin replacement therapy to boost the immune system and reduce the risk of infections. This can be administered intravenously (IVIG) or subcutaneously (SCIG). Additionally, children may require antibiotics to treat or prevent infections. In some cases, other treatments such as corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs may be needed to manage autoimmune complications. Close monitoring by a pediatric immunologist is essential for managing the condition effectively.
