Kaplan's Disease

Kaplan's disease is a disease that was described by American physician Carl Kaplan in 1948. This is a rare genetic disease in which a person lacks a protein called “antibody”, which is responsible for immunity and protecting the body from various infections.

Kaplan disease appears in early childhood and can lead to serious complications such as infections, autoimmune diseases and other health problems. Symptoms may include frequent infections, allergies, and problems with the skin and other organs.

Treatment for Kaplan disease involves taking immunoglobulins and other drugs that help restore immunity. A bone marrow transplant may also be required.

It is important to note that Kaplan's disease is very rare and diagnosis can be difficult. However, if you suspect that you may have Kaplan's disease, you should see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
