ABSTRACT
Immunodeficiencies usually are congenital or primary and secondary or acquired, one type of primary immunodeficiency is the transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy, usually in children under five years (90%), male (60-80 %), with an overall incidence of 1 in 10 000 live births, which is caused by a defect in the synthesis of one or more immunoglobulin isotypes in the early years of life, self-limited character, transient, of unknown etiology, is characterized by a decrease in serum IgG by the fourth or fifth month of life to 18 or 24 months, with a normal IgA or low and a normal IgM. Treatment is usually supportive and symptomatic cases require antibiotics. Replacement therapy with intravenous immunoglobulin is not usually recommended unless de patient has severe infections or resistant to standard treatments.
