Immune screening: It is important to establish the cause of the infections. From the pattern of infections, t certain immune tests can define the problem further. Cultures can be obtained which will help your doctors determine the underlying cause and treatment. There are many immune disorders in addition to IG deficiency. Growth patterns are also important to consider. Prmg fax 858 259 9689 for rev of records.
