Background: Food allergy is an abnormal response of the immunological system, especially of mucosal immunological system on antigens supplied per os. There are very complicated and still unexplained immunological mechanisms, which lead to hypersensitivity reaction. Most often food hypersensitivity is identified as the effect of atopy, which is connected with humoral response (specific IgE antibody).

- Inosine pranobex (Groprinosin) shows potential as an immune booster in children with cellular immunodeficiency, particularly against recurring viral infections.
- A study involving 30 children aged 3-15 years administered 50 mg/kg body weight/day of inosine pranobex for 10 days over three months demonstrated significant increases in important immune cells (CD3T and CD4T lymphocytes).
- The improvements in immune cell function and clinical outcomes were observed alongside a control group that received garlic treatment, suggesting that inosine pranobex may effectively enhance immune responses.
Unlabelled: The recognition of allergy in children with hypoimmunoglobulinemia is very difficult because they have very low level or even lack of specific IgE antibodies. Our research hypothesis was the possibility of detecting the specific sensitization of lymphocytes T to food allergens in children with hypoimmunoglobulinemia and with clinical symptoms of allergy.
Material: 32 children actually treated in our Immunology Outpatients Department due to immunodeficiency connected with hypoimmunoglobulinemia and with clinical suspicion of allergy.
The rules and own authors experience according preventive and curative using of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) in children with primary cellular immunodeficiency is presented.
