Immunology

The Division of Immunology at Children’s National Medical Center is a national leader in treating and managing primary immunodeficiencies in infants, children, adolescents, and young adults, including:
  • Agammaglobulinemia
  • Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT)
  • Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS)
  • Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
  • Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)
  • DiGeorge syndrome
  • Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)
  • Hypogammaglobulinemia
  • Leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD)
  • Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)
  • Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS)
  • X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA)
By providing individual treatment plans, tailored to each patient’s specific needs, the Immunology team helps each patient lead a fuller life.

Children’s patients have access to cutting-edge experimental therapeutics through several clinical trials for primary immunodeficiency diseases. The Immunology team also provides services and treatments, such as:
  • Diagnostic evaluation.
  • Immune function testing.
  • Ongoing management of chronic immune disorders.
  • Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment in the hospital’s infusion center.
  • Home-based therapies.
  • Second opinions for immunodeficiency disorders.
Children’s Division of Blood and Marrow Transplantation also provides hematopoietic stem cell transplantation to correct severe immunodeficiencies.

In addition, the Patient and Family Support Program provides comprehensive mental and psychosocial services and helpful resources for all patients treated in Children’s Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders, as well as patients’ parents and siblings.
