Subject: [cis-pidd] IVIG/ScIg for Complement deficiency?

Hello everyone.

I have heard of some practitioners in our region using IVIG as sole management for isolated C2 deficiency in infants/children (i.e. instead of prophylactic antibiotics, immunizations for encapsulated organisms, etc.).  The feeling is long-term use of prophylactic antibiotics in these cases is irresponsible.

I will be honest and admit I have not heard of this before or found much in the literature.  What am I missing here?

I would appreciate any comments.

Regards,

Jason
