Ig replacement therapy provides antibodies that help prevent infection in those with antibody deficiencies.
When primary immunodeficiency is likely to cause significant harm or death, HSCT, more commonly known as a bone marrow transplant (BMT), may be the best treatment option.
Gene therapy is in clinical trials for several types of PI and offers an alternative to HSCT when a suitable donor is not available.
Ig replacement therapy, HSCT, and gene therapy are not the only treatments for PI, some types of PI have treatments specific to them. Explore our pages on different types of PI to learn about specific treatments.
