Brief summary
* This is the first study, that we are aware of, that will evaluate the efficacy of IgIV in patients with IgG subclass deficiency. * Will provide data for further collaboration in extending study to involve other immunological centers in the United States to study patients with similar disease.
Detailed description
\*10 consenting adults (18 or older) will receive IgIV (Gamunex 10%) monthly at a dose of 400mg/kg body weight IV at 3ml/minute. Comprehensive labs will be monitored at each visit, as well as clinical eval, plus patients will complete a questionnaire each time.
