[Personal experiences of immunotherapy using the transfer factor]

R D'Amelio, F Franchi, F Aiuti

    Minerva Medica

    Summary

    Transfer factor therapy improved immunological function in patients with immunodeficiency disorders. While most patients showed clinical improvement, one case of chronic mucocutaneous candidosis did not fully recover.

    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Cellular Therapy
    • Infectious Diseases

    Context:

    • Chronic mucocutaneous candidosis (CMC) is an immune disorder.
    • Ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) is a rare genetic disorder.
    • Partial combined immunodeficiency (PCID) presents with recurrent infections.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of transfer factor in treating primary immunodeficiency disorders.
    • To assess the immunological and clinical outcomes of transfer factor therapy.

    Summary:

    • Six patients with CMC, AT, and PCID received transfer factor treatment.
    • Immunological parameters normalized in all treated subjects.
    • Clinical improvement was observed in five out of six patients, with one CMC case showing limited response.

    Impact:

    • Transfer factor therapy shows potential in restoring immune function in specific immunodeficiency conditions.
    • Highlights the need for individualized treatment approaches in complex immune disorders.
    • Suggests further research into transfer factor's role in managing chronic infections associated with immunodeficiencies.
