A member asked:
Would ivig be considered in mannose-binding lectin deficiency, very low igm, igg3 and igg4 after no response to vaccines?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Mannose-binding lectin deficiency is a complement disorder. Low igm and subclass igg (in your case 3 ; 4) is a separate entity. With low immunoglobulins and no response to vaccines, ivig would be reasonable. See an immunologist to evaluate this.
