What (who) is hypogammaglobulinemia - definition

B CELL DEFICIENCY THAT IS CAUSED BY A REDUCTION IN ALL TYPES OF GAMMA GLOBULINS
Hypogammaglobulinaemia; Agammaglobulinemia; Agammaglobulinaemia; Nonfamilial hypogammaglobulinaemia; Autosomal recessive agammaglobulinaemia; Primary agammaglobulinemia

Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy         
FORM OF HYPOGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA APPEARING AFTER BIRTH, LEADING TO A REDUCTION IN THE LEVEL OF IGG, AND ALSO SOMETIMES IGA AND IGM
Transient hypogammaglobulinaemia of infancy
Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy is a form of hypogammaglobulinemia appearing after birth, leading to a reduction in the level of IgG, and also sometimes IgA and IgM. (The ratios of immunoglobulins vary rapidly in all infants, and the term dysgammaglobulinemia, although theoretically applicable, is not usually used in this context.
agammaglobulinaemia

(also agammaglobulinemia)
¦ noun Medicine lack of gamma globulin in the blood plasma, causing immune deficiency.

Hypogammaglobulinemia

Hypogammaglobulinemia is a problem with the immune system in which not enough gamma globulins are produced in the blood (thus hypo- + gamma + globulin + -emia). This results in a lower antibody count, which impairs the immune system, increasing risk of infection. Hypogammaglobulinemia may result from a variety of primary genetic immune system defects, such as common variable immunodeficiency, or it may be caused by secondary effects such as medication, blood cancer, or poor nutrition, or loss of gamma globulins in urine, as in nonselective glomerular proteinuria. Patients with hypogammaglobulinemia have reduced immune function; important considerations include avoiding use of live vaccines, and take precautionary measures when traveling to regions with endemic disease or poor sanitation such as receiving immunizations, taking antibiotics abroad, drinking only safe or boiled water, arranging appropriate medical cover in advance of travel, and ensuring continuation of any immunoglobulin infusions needed.
