Blood Test

So this is the blood test I was trying to figure out, so when you look up Spat pneumococcal Ab panel 23 this is what  it is:
Specific antibody deficiency (SAD) is a primary immunodeficiency disease (PIDD) characterized by normal immunoglobulins (Igs), IgA, IgM, total IgG, and IgG subclass levels, but with recurrent infection and diminished antibody responses to polysaccharide antigens following vaccination

SYMPTOMS:
People with selective antibody deficiency do not produce antibodies in response to polysaccharide vaccines. Affected people have many sinus and lung infections and sometimes symptoms of allergies, such as a chronic runny and stuffy nose (rhinitis), a rash, and asthma. The severity of the disorder varies.

That is SO him!  Every single one of those symptoms fit him.  He's had multiple lung and sinus infections, he has allergy symptoms  but the allergy test came back negative for everything.  Always a stuffy nose.  Had a rash  a few weeks ago or not even.  Has asthma......If he has this I was right.... After he had Viral Sepsis I was mad they brushed it off. Its not like he has a immune deficiency problem, the doctor told me. I though for sure he had one then.
This is an easy fix as they can give shots to help boost his immune system.
