Guest guest Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 My 3.5 yaer old was just diagnosed with hypogamma (hopefully transient). He has low total igg and at 1st no response to his prevnar. They revaccinated with prevnar and retested and he responded this time. All this testing started after his 3rd pneumonia in 3 yaers this Jan. He has had lots of ear infections (tubes in and adnoid out), sinus infections, bronchitis, strep throat, croup, RSV, on and on and on. He has asthma, reflux, eczema and now takes amoxicillian everyday to help prevent new infections. That was working great until he got cellulitis from a bug bite (grr...stupid bugs) so we switched to augmentin until the cellulitis cleared now back to amoxicillian. He also has diarrehea almost all the time, maybe from all the meds... I read that transient hypogamma generally fixes itself prior to a child turning 3. Does that make it less likely that his will get better? Why did he respond to the prevnar this time but not before? Is his igg 426 (453-916) just a little low like it looks or is that worse than it looks? I'd like to go to our appointment next week armed with questions for the Dr. Our 1st appointment ended with her telling us he has and immune deficiency and to take the ammoxicillian and have more blood work. I feel like I missed some info after she said there was a problem, if you know what I mean. I knew he was sick, but kind if expoected to hear I was over reacting to it like my ped. said...Any input from you guys will be helpful!
