If a cvid patient stops infusions is it definite that they will get pneumonia again ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
We Don't Know: Cvid is serious. Stopping infusions lowers your immunity to fight off any infection, not just pneumonia. Have you discussed other infusion options or therapies? This is a serious decision you need to make with your immunologist. I prefer not to stop but rather switch to alternative immunoglobulin replacement.
