“…Recurrent fevers and opportunistic infections, particularly of the respiratory tract, are the hallmarks of impaired immune function in all species and ages, and the presence of either should prompt veterinarians to evaluate for an underlying immunodeficiency (Crisman & Scarratt, 2008; Riggs, 1987; Smith & Cunningham‐Rundles, ). In both human and veterinary medicine, serum IgG concentration is measured as a screening test for humoral immunity (Crisman & Scarratt, 2008; Felippe, 2018; Notarangelo, 2010). If serum IgG concentrations are found to be low, further and repeated immunologic evaluation is indicated.…”

“…Transient hypogammaglobulinaemia of the young is a primary humoral immunodeficiency described in developing humans and animals (Felippe, 2018). Humoral immunodeficiencies are the most frequently diagnosed immunodeficiencies in mammals, and result from impaired antibody production due to intrinsic B cell failure to develop or differentiate into antibody‐secreting plasma cells, or impaired T cell help for B cell activation and differentiation in lymphoid tissues; in any of these conditions, the ultimate result is hypo‐ or agammaglobulinaemia, and increased susceptibility to infections with opportunistic pathogens, particularly encapsulated bacteria (Felippe, 2016).…”

“…Von Immundefizienz spricht man, wenn der Körper keinen funktionierenden Schutz gegen Pathogene aufbauen kann 3 , 5 . Folglich gehen Immundefizienzen mit erhöhter Anfälligkeit für Infektionen einher, wobei diese meist schwierig zu managen sind, solange die zugrunde liegende Abwehrschwäche weiter besteht.…”

“…Bei Pferden mit chronischen oder wiederkehrenden Infektionen, die nur schlecht auf die Standardtherapie ansprechen, sollte eine weitere Abklärung des Immunstatus erfolgen 13 , 5 , 6 .…”
