Find Answers for Recurrent Pneumococcal Disease Through Genetic Testing
When recurrent, severe pneumococcal infections disrupt your life or your child’s health, finding the underlying cause becomes essential. Our IKBKG Gene Test offers the clarity you need to understand why these infections keep returning and how to manage them effectively.
Understanding Your IKBKG Gene Test
This advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) test examines your IKBKG gene for specific mutations that cause recurrent isolated type 2 invasive pneumococcal disease. Unlike standard tests, our genetic analysis provides definitive answers about your susceptibility to these serious infections.
The IKBKG gene plays a crucial role in your immune system’s ability to fight pneumococcal bacteria. When this gene contains specific mutations, your body struggles to mount an effective defence, leading to repeated, severe infections that can be life-threatening if left undiagnosed.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is specifically designed for individuals experiencing:
- Recurrent, severe pneumococcal infections requiring hospitalisation
- Infections that don’t respond adequately to standard antibiotic treatments
- Family history of similar recurrent infections
- Children with multiple episodes of invasive pneumococcal disease
- Unexplained susceptibility to pneumococcal bacteria despite normal vaccination status
If you’ve been searching for answers about why these infections keep returning, our genetic test provides the medical clarity you deserve.
