Question
How to treat and care for newborns with thymic hypoplasia syndrome?
Answer
Thymic hypoplasia syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21 or Down syndrome, is a genetic disorder that often comes with underdeveloped thymus, leading to reduced numbers or impaired function of T lymphocytes. Patients may require anti-infection treatment and enhanced nursing and nutritional support to boost their immunity. Isolation measures help reduce exposure to pathogens, and vaccination should be avoided.
