Respiratory infectious burden in a cohort of antibody deficiency patients treated with immunoglobulin replacement therapy: The impact of lung pathology and gastroesophageal reflux disease

Respiratory infectious burden in a cohort of antibody deficiency patients treated with immunoglobulin replacement therapy: The impact of lung pathology and gastroesophageal reflux disease

Background: Antibody deficiencies result from reduced immunoglobulin levels and function, increasing susceptibility to, primarily, bacterial infection. Primary antibody deficiencies comprise intrinsic defects in B-cell physiology, often due to inherited errors. Hematological malignancies or B-cell s...
