Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy is a form of hypogammaglobulinemia appearing after birth, leading to a reduction in the level of IgG, and also sometimes IgAcite web |url=http://www.merck.com/mmpe/sec13/ch164/ch164m.html |title=Transient Hypogammaglobulinemia of Infancy: Immunodeficiency Disorders: Merck Manual Professional |accessdate=2008-03-01 |format= |work=] and IgM.cite journal |author=Kiliç SS, Tezcan I, Sanal O, Metin A, Ersoy F |title=Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy: clinical and immunologic features of 40 new cases |journal=Pediatr Int |volume=42 |issue=6 |pages=647–50 |year=2000 |pmid=11192522 |doi= |url=http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/openurl?genre=article&sid=nlm:pubmed&issn=1328-8067&date=2000&volume=42&issue=6&spage=647] (The ratios of immunoglobulins vary rapidly in all infants, and the term dysgammaglobulinemia, although theoretically applicable, isn't usually used in this context.)

It can result in increased infections, but it can also present without symptoms.cite journal |author=Hsueh KC, Chiu HH, Lin HC, Hsu CH, Tsai FJ |title=Transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy presenting as Staphylococcus aureus sepsis with deep neck infection |journal=J Microbiol Immunol Infect |volume=38 |issue=2 |pages=141–4 |year=2005 |pmid=15843860 |doi= |url=http://www.jmii.org/content/abstracts/v38n2p141.php]
