Targeting Primary Immunodeficiency. The Search for a Cure
Description
We live in a sea of germs, says Richard Wasserman, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School-and for people with primary immunodeficiency, these infection agents can be fatal. In this program, Dr. Wasserman; Dr. Carl Lenarsky, of Medical City Children's Hospital, in Dallas; and Dr. Mark Stein, of Allergy Associates of the Palm Beaches, describe innovative approaches to treating PI and ways that are more convenient for patients to receive their treatments. Special attention is given to gamma globulin infusion therapy, stem cell transplants, and gene implants.
