Immunoglobulin defic: You should get an immunologic work up thru ypur primary doctor who can order the set of different immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA and IgM) and IgG subclasses as indicated, such as h/o frequent sinu-respiratory infections etc.Sometimes more than one test is needed for a trend. If you are immunoglobulin deficient and have risk for repeated or serious infection, you can get IV immunoglobulin on a regimen,
