Filter by:The DETECT study aims to demonstrate the importance of detecting SPAD in adult patients with recurrent benign and/or severe unexplained bacterial upper/lower respiratory tract infections. Unlike children in whom the deficit may be transient, long-term strategies are warranted in SPAD adult patients to prevent severe infections and lung disability. Beyond the diagnosis of this still unrecognized PID in adult patients, we want to assess the impact of prophylactic antibiotics or IgRT on infections prevention and on quality of life in adult patients with the most severe clinical phenotypes, recurrent infections with high frequency of antibiotics take and/or recurrent infections with complications like bronchiectasis and/or severe infections requiring hospitalizations.
This aim of this research project is to determine if low to moderate level exercise can have an impact on stress, fatigue, and quality of life for individuals diagnosed with a primary immunodeficiency disease. This 8-week study will compare participants engaging in a semi-customized, home exercise program (exercise intervention group) to participants performing normal activities (non-exercise control group). This study will track stress, fatigue, and quality of life in individuals with a diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency disease, using standardized questionnaires, journals, and interviews.
Recommendations concerning the administration of Zostavax® in patients with antibody deficiency are unclear. The investigators plan to assess the immunogenicity and safety of Zostavax® in patients with antibody deficiency as compared with healthy volunteers.
