X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia 0.01 sec.
X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia or X-linked infantile hypogammaglobulinemia
n.
An X-linked primary immunodeficiency characterized by a deficiency of circulating B-cells with a corresponding decrease in immunoglobulins and increased susceptibility to infection by pyogenic bacteria after the loss of maternal antibodies.

hypogammaglobulinemia [hi″po-gam″ah-glob″u-lin-e´me-ah]
abnormally low levels of all classes of immunoglobulins, associated with heightened susceptibility to infectious diseases; see also agammaglobulinemia, dysglobulinemia, and immunodeficiency.
common variable hypogammaglobulinemia common variable immunodeficiency.
physiologic hypogammaglobulinemia a normal period of hypogammaglobulinemia seen in all infants at about 5–6 months of age as the level of transplacentally acquired maternal immunoglobulins declines before endogenous immunoglobulin synthesis rises to normal levels.
transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy prolongation of the normal physiologic hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy caused by delayed development of endogenous immunoglobulin production and associated with increased susceptibility to infections.
X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
