Immunology Infusions
Immunology infusions provide intravenous medications used to support, regulate, or suppress the immune system when oral therapies are insufficient or inappropriate. These treatments are used for a wide range of immune related conditions, including immune deficiencies, autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, and immune system dysfunction.
Infusion therapy allows medications to be delivered directly into the bloodstream for faster absorption, precise dosing, and close monitoring. Treatment plans are individualized based on diagnosis, disease severity, and the recommendations of an immunologist or specialist.
Types of Immunology Infusion Therapies
Immunology infusion services may include a variety of medications, such as:
- Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) to provide immune support or immune modulation
- Biologic and monoclonal antibody therapies to target specific immune or inflammatory pathways
- Immunosuppressive or immune regulating medications used to control autoimmune flares or chronic inflammation
- Supportive infusion therapies used to reduce symptoms, prevent complications, or improve overall immune function
Not all patients receive IVIG; therapy selection depends on the specific condition being treated.
Conditions Commonly Treated
Immunology infusion therapy may be recommended for patients with:
- Primary or acquired immunodeficiencies
Conditions that impair the immune system’s ability to fight infections, including immune dysfunction related to medications or underlying disease. - Autoimmune and inflammatory conditions
Such as lupus, Adult Onset Still’s disease, autoimmune flares, and other immune mediated disorders where immune modulation is needed. - Allergic and immune mediated conditions
Including angioedema, eosinophilic asthma, and other conditions driven by abnormal immune or inflammatory responses. - Neurologic conditions with an immune component
Such as Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), Guillain Barré Syndrome (GBS), Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP), Kawasaki disease, and other immune mediated neurologic disorders. - Immune system complications related to infections
Including certain cases associated with COVID 19, HIV, or other complex infectious diseases when immune support or modulation is required.
