We recently sent a note to my wife’s immunologist, who had been treating her many respiratory symptoms for a few years this topic question. He wrote back to say she should come into the office. I thought it might be a simple question. Maybe not. I’m not asking for medical advice, I’m simply asking, in the context of the discussion of the vaccines and the boosters, if a person with selective IGA deficiency is considered to be immunocompromised.
