Table 2.
Distribution of hypogammaglobulinemia at diagnosis.
| Immunoglobulin | IVIG (n = 56) |
Non-IVIG (n = 33) | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| IgG, n (%) | 9 (16.1) | 3 (9.1) | 0.542 |
| IgA, n (%) | 4 (7.1) | 3 (9.1) | 1.000 |
| IgM, n (%) | 34 (60.7) | 17 (51.5) | 0.701 |
| IgD, n (%) | 29 (51.8) | 16 (48.5) | 0.421 |
IgA, immunoglobulin A; IgD, immunoglobulin D; IgG, immunoglobulin G; IgM, immunoglobulin M; IVIG, intravenous immunoglobulin.
In the IVIG group, 16 patients demonstrated overlapped hypogammaglobulinemia, and in the non-IVIG group, five patients had overlapped hypogammaglobulinemia.
