Description
Gans and co-authors explain how they treat immune problems in Down syndrome in this 2026 clinical article. Immune dysregulation in Down syndrome is common yet often missed. Infection is the leading cause of death in this group.
The authors describe a mix of weak immune defense, body anatomy, and overactive inflammation. Patients also face many autoimmune and inflammatory diseases across skin, brain, and metabolism, which can resist standard immune-calming drugs. The article teaches through real cases from the authors' own clinic. Each vignette shows how they work through diagnosis and treatment choices. The piece is a practical guide for clinicians who care for people with Down syndrome.
