This page presents a variety of statistics about X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia. The term 'prevalence' of X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia at any given time. The term 'incidence' of X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence. For more information see about prevalence and incidence statistics.
