Immunoglobulin G: A useful outcome marker in the follow ‐up of cystic fibrosis patients?

ConclusionThe IgG profile of pediatric patients with CF has changed over recent decades, particularly with regard to hyper ‐IgG. In a significant portion of the pediatric CF population, hypo‐IgG is transient and only identifiable in longitudinal assessments. This study reinforces that hypo‐IgG patients paradoxically present a more favorable course of clinical status. Therefore, IgG levels could be a useful outcome marker in the follow‐up of patients with CF.
