IVIG and SCIG Therapy for Immune Deficiency Patients

  • Primary immunodeficiency (PI), including common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), affects the body’s ability to fight infections.

    Immunoglobulin therapy, including IVIG and SCIG, is commonly used to help strengthen the immune system and reduce the frequency and severity of infections.

    At Mercy Infusion, we provide coordinated immunoglobulin therapy for patients with PI and CVID, with a focus on consistent treatment, insurance support, and ongoing clinical care.

What Is Primary Immunodeficiency

  • Primary immunodeficiency refers to a group of disorders in which part of the immune system is missing or does not function properly.

    CVID is one of the most common forms of primary immunodeficiency.

    Patients with PI or CVID may experience:

    • Frequent or recurring infections
    • Sinus or respiratory infections
    • Prolonged illness or slow recovery
    • Fatigue and reduced energy levels
    • Increased susceptibility to illness

    These conditions are typically managed with ongoing therapy to support immune function.

How Immunoglobulin Therapy Helps Treat PI and CVID

Immunoglobulin therapy provides the antibodies your body is not producing effectively, helping to strengthen your immune system.

For patients with PI or CVID, IVIG or SCIG therapy may:

  • Reduce the frequency of infections
  • Decrease the severity of illness
  • Improve overall quality of life
  • Support long-term immune system function

For patients living with immune deficiencies, immunoglobulin therapy is delivered with expert care and close monitoring, along with education and support so patients feel confident throughout treatment.
