Question
Chapter 16, Problem 5CTQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason as to why a patient who is producing extremely low levels of IgG and IgM antibodies should not receive numerous vaccinations against a broad spectrum of common pathogens.
Concept introduction:
Vaccination is the process of transferring attenuated microbes inside an organism so that the immune system recognizes the microbes and produce antibodies for the future encounter with the microbe.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The treatment that could be beneficial to the patient.
Concept introduction:
Immunoglobulin refers to the fraction of blood plasma which contains immunoglobulin’s, or also known as antibodies. The immunoglobulins (Igs) in the plasma include IgG, IgA, IgD, IgM, and IgE.
