Immunodeficiency
Immunodeficiency refers to conditions where an individual’s immune system, which is responsible for preventing and managing infections, functions sub-optimally. Consequently, these individuals may experience infections that are more frequent, severe or caused by unusual pathogens—distinct from the common viral infections and colds typically seen in children. Managing immunodeficiency often requires the collaboration of multiple medical specialties.
As a referral centre in Singapore, we provide a comprehensive range of diagnostic tests for immune deficiencies. These include the assessment of immunoglobulin levels, vaccine responses, lymphocyte subsets, lympho-proliferative tests, neutrophil function tests and cytokine measurements.
We have a track record of successful transplants in children with complex primary immune deficiencies, such as Chronic Granulomatous Disease, Hyper-IgM syndrome and Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1.
