Current Perspectives on Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases [PDF]
Since the original description of X‐linked agammaglobulinemia in 1952, the number of independent primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) has expanded to more than 100 entities. By definition, a PID is a genetically determined disorder resulting in enhanced susceptibility to infectious disease.

Human Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases [PDF]
Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) provide invaluable insight into immune system, notably in vivo immune responses to microorganisms as based on the variable vulnerability to pathogens and opportunistic agents. PID are also very informative in defining key checkpoints controlling immunity to self.

Primary immunodeficiency diseases: an update [PDF]
The last full report of the IUIS Scientific Committee for Primary Immunodeficiencies [PIDs] was published in Clinical and Experimental Immunology over 3 years ago [1]. This covered the relevant basic immunological principles, cellular, genetic, humoral (including cytokine) and induction aspects of immune responses to those microbial antigens involved ...

Reversion Mosaicism in Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases [PDF]
Reversion mosaicism has been reported in an increasing number of genetic disorders including primary immunodeficiency diseases. Several mechanisms can mediate somatic reversion of inherited mutations. Back mutations restore wild-type sequences, whereas second-site mutations result in compensatory changes.

Development and Initial Validation of a Questionnaire to Measure Health-Related Quality of Life of Adults with Common Variable Immune Deficiency: The CVID_QoL Questionnaire. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Generic health status quality of life (QoL) instruments have been used in patients with common variable immune deficiency (CVID). However, by their nature, these tools may over- or underestimate the impact of diseases on an individual's QoL.

PRIMARY IMMUNODEFICIENCY DISEASES AND MALIGNANCY [PDF]
The incidence of malignant tumors in the primary immunodeficiency diseases is dramatically increased. Four patients with primary immunodeficiencies who developed fatal malignancies are reported. Lymphoreticular tumors and leukemia predominate in most conditions, but epithelial neoplasms are the most common tumors in selective Iga deficiency, and they ...
