Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)
Treatment of CVID
Immune globulin Antibiotics to treat infections Immune globulin (antibodies obtained from the blood of people with a normal immune system) is given throughout life to provide the missing immunoglobulins. It may be injected into a vein (intravenously) once a month or under the skin (subcutaneously) once a week or once a month. Antibiotics are promptly given to treat infections. Sometimes antibiotics are taken regularly to prevent infections. Autoimmune disorders are treated as needed with drugs (such asrituximab,etanercept,infliximab, or corticosteroids) that suppress or otherwise modify the immune system's activity.
