Medications

Bone Marrow Transplantation

Bone marrow transplantation may be an option. A suitable donor will need to be found. It is a definitive cure.

Surgery

Surgery may involve the debridement or removal of abscesses.

Vaccines

Some live viral vaccines should be avoided. You should consult with an immunologist before receiving one.
