Purpose

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.

Primary Outcome Measures:

Lab values ck'ed baseline and with each treatment, and 15 mo. visit
Xray of Chest and sinus baseline and on 12th and last treatment
Clinical assessment baseline, every treatment, and 15 mo.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Patient questionnaires completed by patients, baseline, prior to each treatment, and at 15 month vist.

Estimated Enrollment:	10
Study Start Date:	December 2004
Estimated Study Completion Date:	December 2006

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. There is also a 3 month follow-up visit after completion of therapy. Specific xrays will be done at the beginning and with the last treatment.
