Abstract
- AbstractPrimary immunodeficiency (PI) patients may still experience persistent viral and bacterial respiratory infections with ongoing treatments. We report a challenging case of a PI patient who experienced recurrent viral respiratory infections despite receiving standard immunoglobulin replacement therapy. The patient was subsequently managed with immune globulin intravenous, human-slra (ASCENIV™) that contains elevated antibodies against multiple respiratory pathogens. The patient demonstrated significant clinical improvement with a resolution of persistent and debilitating viral respiratory infections and associated sequela.
