==Overview==
==[[Primary immunodeficiency overview|Overview]]==


'''Primary immunodeficiencies''' are disorders in which part of the body's [[immune system]] is missing or does not function properly.  To be considered a ''primary'' [[immunodeficiency]], the cause of the immune deficiency must not be secondary in nature (i.e., caused by other disease, drug treatment, or environmental exposure to toxins, e.g.)'''

It is believed that around one in every 1200 Americans has a Primary Immunodeficiency disorder.
==[[Primary immunodeficiency causes|Causes]]==
Conditions - there are over 130 recognised primary immunodeficiencies - common variable immunodeficiency, IgA deficiency, XLA, XLP all being worthy of mention in addition to those listed.


Patient support - there are a growing number of national patient organisations around the world to support those who are diagnosed or where one of the conditions are recorded in a family. Access via www.ipopi.org or e-mail info@ipopi.org [or] The Immune Deficiency Foundation [or] Jeffrey Modell Foundation (Links found under "External Links Section")

==Treatment==
==[[Primary immunodeficiency epidemiology and demographics|Epidemiology and Demographics]]==
Primary immunodeficiency is generally treated by [[immunotherapy]] either through intravenous infusions of [[immunoglobulin]] ([[IVIG]]) in an effort to induce [[passive immunity]] (Immunotherapy is not indicated for those who are IgA deficient). A new subcutaneous treatment (SC-Ig) was recently approved by the FDA, which is especially recommended in cases of severe adverse effects to the IV-Ig treatment or with individuals with poor venous access. Persons with immunodeficiencies are very vulnerable to [[opportunistic infection]]s, and the use of [[antimicrobial]] agents, such as [[antibiotic]]s and [[antifungal]]s, is often required. One of the future prospects in the treatment primary immunodeficiency is [[gene therapy]]. However, this form of treatment is in its infancy, and the feasibility and long-term complications of gene therapy are not known.

Along with physical treatment, there are hotlines and patient groups; this enables support for family members as well as the actual patient. One can find a diversity of supports by clicking the link to the 'Immune Deficiency Foundation' or 'Jeffrey Modell Foundation'' under Wikipedia's section ''External Links'' on this page.
