8. Advances in Treatment: Improving Quality of Life for CHS Patients
The treatment landscape for CHS has evolved significantly. Current options focus on managing symptoms and preventing complications. These include antibiotics for infection control, medications to boost immune function, and in some cases, surgical interventions.
Recent breakthroughs in immune-boosting therapies have shown promise in improving the lives of those with CHS. These therapies aim to enhance the body’s natural defense mechanisms, reducing the frequency and severity of infections.
Bone marrow transplantation has emerged as a potentially curative treatment for CHS. This procedure replaces the defective immune cells with healthy ones, offering a chance for a more normal immune function and reduced infection risk.
Looking forward, the treatment of CHS is moving towards a more holistic approach. This encompasses not just medical interventions but also lifestyle modifications, psychological support, and patient education to enhance overall quality of life. (8)
