New member - Amy/son (IgA deficiency)

[Guest guest]

Amy - Children under 5 to 6 years old have fluctuating immune systems.

Their systems are still trying to mature and haven't developed reliable

function yet. Many pediatric patients diagnosed under 5 are termed

transient because this may still resolve once their system matures. After 5

or 6 years old the doctors tend to think of the deficiency as a more long

term disease and sometimes treatment will become more aggressive. His ENT

would be the best source of information about the need for tubes. Has he

seen a pediatric immunologist? Who ran the immune studies and do they have

any type of experience in treating immune deficiency?

1 year old son with iga deficiency

I am trying to find some answers about my 1 year old son who was diagnosed

with iga deficiency about 5 months ago. They have since retested him and

his iga, igm, and igg levels have changed. What would cause the change and

should I be concerned. His iga level went from less than 10 to 15. His igm

went from 102 to 69 and his igg went from 432 to 567. Can you please email

me with information. We are also going to go see a specialist next week

about having tubes put in his ears because of recurrent ear infections. Is

this a wise choice? Please email me with answers-I would so appreciate it.

Thanks again-Amy
