Expertise in Immune Disorders and Immune Dysregulation
Some children experience immune system conditions that either prevent them from fighting infections (immunodeficiency) or cause the immune system to attack healthy cells (autoimmunity or autoinflammatory disorders). These conditions may be inherited or may develop later in life.
Cooper’s allergists and immunologists have extensive experience diagnosing and treating primary and secondary immunodeficiency disorders, as well as many autoinflammatory disorders.
We offer comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for immunologic conditions:
- Common variable immunodeficiency
- Specific antibody deficiency
- Selective IgA deficiency
- Hyper IgE syndromes
- Combined immunodeficiencies (CID)
- Primary and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis syndromes
- Periodic fever syndromes
- Other antibody deficiency disorders
- Other primary cellular immunodeficiencies
The most common signs of immunodeficiency are frequent, severe acute and/or chronic infections, but can present in many other ways, including diarrhea, enlarged lymph nodes, unexplained fevers, and early malignancy.
It is important to diagnose an immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation disorder as early as possible to develop an appropriate treatment approach.
