Immunodeficiency Care in Fort Worth & Southlake, TX
A healthy immune system protects the body from infections and illnesses. But for individuals living with immunodeficiency, the immune system does not function as effectively, making it harder to fight off bacteria, viruses, and other threats. At Advanced Allergy & Asthma Associates, with offices in Fort Worth and Southlake, TX, the care team provides expert evaluation and treatment options to help patients manage immunodeficiency and improve their quality of life.
What Is Immunodeficiency?
Immunodeficiency occurs when the immune system is weakened or not functioning properly. This condition can be primary (present at birth due to genetic causes) or secondary (acquired later in life due to illness, medication, or other factors).
Patients with immunodeficiency are more likely to experience:
- Frequent or recurring infections
- Illnesses that are more severe than usual
- Slow recovery times after infections
- Unusual or difficult-to-treat infections
Common Causes of Immunodeficiency
While some immune deficiencies are inherited, others may develop due to health conditions or treatments. Common causes include:
- Genetic immune disorders
- Chronic illnesses
- Certain cancers
- Chemotherapy or other medications that suppress the immune system
Symptoms to Watch For
You may want to seek care from a specialist if you or your child experience:
- Recurrent ear, sinus, or lung infections
- Multiple courses of antibiotics with limited improvement
- Persistent fatigue or weakness
- Growth or developmental delays in children
- Infections that do not respond to standard treatment
