Journal/Book: Fortschr. Med. 112 (9), 117-121. 1994;

Abstract: Infection continues to remain a major problem in immunodeficientpatients. The spectrum of pathogen differs, depending on whether one isdealing with an unspecific immune defect or a specific hormonal orcellular defect. This means that a knowledge of the type of deficiencypresenting is of importance for the empirical treatment that is oftenrequired. Infection can be prevented by the replacement ofimmunoglobulins, in particular in the case of hormonal immune defects.The use of cytokines holds out some promise of achieving a similareffect in the treatment of cellular immune defects.
