Diagnosis and treatment of primary and minor immunodeficiencies

In primary immunodeficiency caused by various genetic abnormalities, there is immune insufficiency. In other words, the immune system is not able to fully perform its functions, so any infection can pose a serious threat to human health. Minor immunodeficiencies, in which there is a decrease in resistance to certain types of microorganisms, are more common.

Clinical picture: when to see a doctor
All clinical manifestations of minor and primary immunodeficiencies can be divided into three main syndromes:
    1. Infectious syndrome. The patient is disturbed by frequent relapses of infectious diseases. In most cases, these are tonsillitis, cystitis, urethritis, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, and pathologies caused by fungal infections. Helminth infestations are not uncommon.
    2. Immune tolerance disorders syndrome. Symptoms can manifest as various allergic reactions, and in some cases, even pseudoallergic complications. Autoimmune disorders affect the peripheral and central nervous system, leading to the development of neuritis, neuropathy, autoimmune encephalitis, and other pathologies. Inflammatory dermatoses, psoriasis, nonspecific ulcerative colitis, and other immune-inflammatory processes are not uncommon.
    3. Neoplastic syndrome. Lymphomas, carcinomas, and other types of neoplasms can develop.

Also, patients with this diagnosis may present with impaired fertility, infertility, the occurrence of side effects to vaccinations, and intolerance to certain medications.

Reasons

Primary and minor immunodeficiencies are caused by genetic abnormalities. Most often they are passed on from parents, less often they arise under the influence of various unfavorable factors.

Diagnostic methods

The VIVERE CLINIC uses modern methods to diagnose primary and minor immunodeficiencies. The examination always begins with an examination and anamnesis collection. Differential diagnosis, laboratory immunodeficiency phenotype studies, molecular genetic testing, and other tests are also performed.

We create a unique diagnostic panel for each patient. All necessary examinations can be performed at the VIVERE CLINIC. Thanks to our comprehensive approach, our physicians are not only able to diagnose accurately, but also to determine the cause of the pathology. 

Prevention

Primary prevention of minor immunodeficiencies consists of rational family planning. Secondary prevention measures are aimed at preventing symptoms and reducing the risk of complications. To do this, the following recommendations are worth following:
    1. Refuse to work in harmful industries.
    2. Avoid exposing your body to various toxic substances at home, contact with pesticides, insecticides.
    3. The vaccination program needs to be streamlined. 

In addition, immunosuppressive medications should be used with caution to avoid possible infectious complications.

Treatment of minor and primary immunodeficiencies

At the VIVERE CLINIC, each patient with primary immunodeficiency is treated by a Concilium of physicians based on symptoms, underlying cause, risk of complications, and other factors. Therapy begins with lifestyle correction and symptomatic treatment. For example, antibiotics are prescribed for bacterial infections.
Immune replacement therapy is used as the main therapy to eliminate the cause of the pathology, including other modern methods with proven efficacy, such as compatible donor plasma preparations, immunoglobulins, immunomodulators, and immunostimulants to treat immunodeficiencies.

Recommendations

When symptoms of the disease appear, you should not delay in making an appointment with your doctor. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help avoid possible neoplastic and other complications.

Cost

Although the clinic has fixed prices for individual services, the cost of diagnosis and treatment is determined individually for each patient. The total price may vary depending on the methods of examination and therapy used. You can find out how much the diagnosis and treatment will cost from your doctor during a consultation.

В клинике уютно и светло. Приятно удивляет всегда быстрое реагирование на вопросы и просьбы девушек-регистраторов, их доброжелательное отношение. Ни один вопрос в вайбере не остался без ответа. Дважды были с сыном на консультации у Шейко Макара Васильевича. Неординарный, профессиональный и, в то же время, душевный, можно сказать дружеский подход, к решению проблем пациента, у Макара Васильевича. Также 2 года назад мы были на приеме у иммунолога Мельник Леси Игоревны. Остались тоже очень довольны. Впечатлило глубокое понимание проблемы, а также достаточно доступное объяснение и интересное изложение информации.

Доброго дня! Нарешті я написала відгук, вже півроку з вами) Я мама дитини, яка до 18 років мала купу діагнозів, які і близько не мали відношення до нашої хвороби! Уявіть, скільки часу було витрачено... лікування ніяке (звісно) не допомагало, а ставало ще гірше. Доки нам не порекомендували Шейко Макар Васильовича! Сказати, що Він нам допоміг , це нічого не сказати! Макар Васильович врятував мою Софію! Завдяки правильній діагностиці, ми маємо НАШ діагноз (рідке орфанне захворювання) і правильне лікування. Я бачу поліпшення, моя дитина як заново народилася! Макар Васильович - це дбайлива і дуже чутна Людина, якій довіряєш! На прийомі немає оцього бар'єру лікар-пацієнт, ви як прийшли до друга, який вас підбадьорить, вислухає. Дуже рекомендую!
