X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
X-linked agammaglobulinemia is an inherited immunodeficiency that impairs the production of antibodies; because it is passed on through the X chromosome, it affects mainly males.
Common symptoms: The most characteristic feature is repeated bacterial infections from early childhood, especially of the respiratory tract, ears, and sinuses.
Common causes: Its origin is genetic and is related to Bruton agammaglobulinemia, since they share the same underlying mechanism in the immune defenses.
Which specialist treats it? The allergist with a focus on immunology and the pediatrician support the study and follow-up of these cases. If a child has unusually frequent infections, it is worth having a professional evaluate how their immune system is working.
