hello Dion,

I had this problem of constant infections, pneumonia three times, and was eventually referred to the immune clinic. They have put me on 3 weekly infusions of immunoglobulin, and this seems to have made a big difference. I was given Rituximab before all this and it seemed to wipe out most of my B cells, the immunoglobulins replace it,

I take Azithromycin 3 times weekly as well and my chest has been much better. I still get out of breath when walking or bending and need oxygen at home but on the whole I have improved. Could be worth a mention to your doctor. Good luck anyway, do let us Know what happens.
