A child is prescribed hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for severe combined immunodeficiency disease. what is administered to the child to improve the humoral immunity until the transplant is performed?

The child is administered to use Intravenous immunoglobulin and Pneumocystis caranii pneumonia or PCP prophylaxis. These are used to improve humoral immunity in the child until the time when the transplant is performed.

The child is not recommended to use influenza vaccine in immunodeficiency disease reason being the possibility of acquiring influenza which is severe.

Again the child is not recommended to use varicella vaccine because it can lead to a risk of acquiring chicken pox.

For a child with PCP, we use Dapsone.
