IGIV: Achieving Improved Patient Outcomes, Vol. 1, Issue 3
Recognizing Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Early:
A
Case-Based Approach
Recognizing Primary Immunodeficiency Disease Early: A Case-Based Approach is the third issue in a
4-part newsletter series, IGIV: Achieving Improved Patient Outcomes.
Its goal is to familiarize physicians, nurses, and pharmacists with the
latest developments in the field of immune globulin intravenous (IGIV)
therapy and the relevance to patient care - specifically, key strategies for diagnosing primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) in patients with recurrent infections. This issue
focuses on the clinical presentation patterns that point to PID as a
possible diagnosis, selection of appropriate screening tests
for patients with suspected PID based on clinical findings, and development of a management plan, including
IGIV and genetic counseling, for patients with PID. A case report highlights
key strategies for recognizing PID in children with recurrent infection.
This activity is supported by an unrestricted
educational grant from Talecris Biotherapeutice, Center for Science and
Education.
