None the less, the majority of these studies show that higher Ig dosage and IgG trough levels result in fewer infections and a reduced duration of the remaining disease episode [52,53,56–58,62,64,101,102]. The exact IgG trough level that will protect antibody-deficient patients against recurrent bacterial infection and progression to chronic lung damage remains uncertain.
