Selective Carbohydrate Antibody Deficiency

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

I have a 15 year old son with learning disabilites who has had

chronic sinusitis, asthma, allergies, stomach pain, headaches, fatigue and

viruses since pre School age. He doesn't get sick to often in the summer or

when on vacations from school. Which his school and his doctors think he

fakes being sick to get out of school. I had told them I think his immune

system is compromised which is why he is well when he is home and gets sick

when he returns to school with all the germs and illness. Well I have taken

him to many specialists and his pediatrician said all his test were normal. I

took him to a Allergist/Immunologist out of Yale New Haven hospital in Ct.

he took 12 tubes of blood and diagnosed him with Selective Carbohydrate

Antibody Deficiency. His IGG (14 subclasses) are pretty much non existent. So

he isn't producing antibodies to fight off infections. I was unable to

find anything specific to Selective Carbohydrate Antibody Deficiency does

anyone else have this conditions? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

I am grateful for this group and look forward to corresponding with you

all.

Sincerely,

Angsabalmom@...
