Some immunodeficiencies are characterised by reduced antibody formation, which can lead to increased susceptibility to infections. In these forms of immunodeficiency diseases, part of the therapy is the replacement of the missing antibodies. There are two possible forms of this antibody replacement therapy

• Giving/infusion of the antibodies via the vein (intravenous) - on a day-care basis in the day ward
• Giving/infusion of the antibodies into the subcutaneous fatty tissue (subcutaneous) - in home therapy.

For subcutaneous immunoglobulin administration, we offer extensive training for patients, parents and families, so that independent treatment at home is possible afterwards.
