Background: Environmental justice (EJ) is essential for addressing the disproportionate burden of environmental hazards on vulnerable populations, particularly pregnant individuals and young children.

- IgG subclass deficiency is linked to recurrent infections in children; a study evaluated 111 pediatric patients with this condition to better understand its clinical significance.
- The study divided the patients into two groups: those with isolated IgG subclass deficiency (Group 1) and those with additional low immunoglobulin levels (Group 2), revealing that Group 2 experienced more hospitalizations and infections.
- Findings indicate that primary immunoglobulin deficiencies alongside IgG subclass deficiencies increase hospitalization rates and treatment needs, emphasizing the importance of monitoring these patients closely.
