Don't worry: Isolated low IgA occurs in about 1/500 people. If it is the only immunoglobulin being low, i won't be concerned over it.

Not necessarily: Need to also look at antibody titers to diphtheria, tetanus and pneumococcus. Can have normal IgG numbers with abnormal function and thus low antibody response which would also be CVID.
