Treating WHIM syndrome

Treating WHIM Syndrome title and campaign art

Healthcare providers have several options to manage WHIM syndrome:

G-CSF therapy

An injection to help the bone marrow produce more infection-fighting white blood cells

IgG replacement therapy

An injection to help strengthen the immune system by raising antibody levels

Antibiotics

To prevent or treat infections caused by bacteria

Antivirals

To help fight infections caused by viruses

Wart removal

Done through topical treatments, surgery, or freezing them off (cryotherapy)

G-CSF=granulocyte colony-stimulating factor. IgG=immunoglobulin type G.

I’ve had a compromised immune system since I was an infant, but we were always just treating symptoms and never the root cause of the problem. -Caitlyn
