The child had a congenital absence of immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies and her body is only slowly beginning to produce them independently.
The child was born with immunoglobulin A (IgA) and immunoglobulin (IgM) antibodies suggesting intrauterine infection.
The child lacks the antigen presenting cells integral to normal B-cell antibody production.
