Subcutaneous immunoglobulin: the game-changer in immunodeficiency treatment.
In: Asia Pacific Association of Allergy, Asthma, and Clinical Immunology (APAAACI) Congress 2024, 13-15 Dec. 2024, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. .
Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are a heterogenous group of inherited disorders affecting one or more components of the immune system, leading to increased susceptibility to infections and risk for autoimmune diseases. In Malaysia, as of 2020, a prevalence of 0.37 per 100,000 people was reported from a systematic review of 34 publications. Immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IRT) is a pivotal treatment for individuals with humoral immunodeficiencies and combined immunodeficiencies, which can be administered intravenously (IVIg) or subcutaneously (SCIg) at regular intervals. Unfortunately, SCIg in Malaysia is not yet registered in the Ministry of Health Medicines Formulary, also known as the Blue Book, which lists the medications approved for use in public hospital facilities. This poses a challenge in the process of switching IVIg to SCIG in Malaysia.
