Recurrent Infections and Immunodeficiencies
Recurrent infections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus, and ear infections, can often indicate an underlying immunodeficiency. Immunodeficiencies weaken the immune system, making it harder for the body to fight infections effectively. At Revere Health, we diagnose and treat recurrent infections and related immunodeficiencies to help reduce the frequency of infections and improve overall health.
Signs of Immunodeficiency
- Frequent Infections: Repeated infections such as pneumonia or sinus infections.
- Treatment-Resistant Infections: Infections that are difficult to treat or slow to resolve.
- Unusual Infections: Susceptibility to uncommon infections.
- Delayed Recovery: Longer recovery periods from common illnesses.
Conditions Linked to Immunodeficiencies
- Primary Immunodeficiency: Genetic conditions causing immune dysfunction from birth.
- Secondary Immunodeficiency: Acquired immune weaknesses due to diseases or medications.
- Autoimmune Disorders: Immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, increasing infection risk.
Treatment Options
- Antibiotic Therapy: To treat or prevent infections.
- Immunoglobulin Therapy: Replaces antibodies for immune support.
- Vaccinations: To prevent infections, especially for those with weakened immune systems.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Nutritional and exercise guidance to support immune health.
