Bruton Agammaglobulinemia

Bruton agammaglobulinemia is a primary immunodeficiency of genetic origin in which the body produces almost no antibodies, which leaves the body more exposed to infections.

Which specialist treats it? The allergist, with training in clinical immunology, and the pediatrician are usually the ones who detect and follow up this type of immune defect, especially in childhood.

Common symptoms: It presents with repeated or hard-to-control infections, especially respiratory and ear infections, that begin in the first years of life.

When to seek care? Frequent, severe, or recurring infections deserve a focused evaluation. Discussing this history with a professional helps clarify whether there is an underlying immune problem.
