Autoimmune?: The low C3 and C4 levels suggest the presence of an inflammatory process which is likely of autoimmune origin. The elevated CH50 also supports the presence of inflammation such as infection. With your frequent sinus infections, an immune evaluation is indicated since immunodeficiency is often associated with autoimmune disorders Consult an allergist/immunologist .
