SCID is difficult to treat. Basic principles include:

  • attention to good nutrition
  • antibiotic therapy early in illness

Intravenous infusion of gamma globulin in doses of 100-400 mg/kg may provide temporary relief. Allogeneic bone marrow transplantation may restore immunologic function fully.

Patients with ADA deficiency may receive ADA gene transfer using marrow cells.
