Inborn Errors of Immunity - 25/04/23
, Hey Chong bRésumé |
Inborn errors of immunity occur in 1 in 1000 to 1 in 5000 individuals and are characterized by immune deficiency and immune dysregulation. The primary care provider (PCP) should be familiar with key features of these diagnoses including recurrent and/or severe infections, hyperinflammation, malignancy, and autoimmunity and have a low threshold to refer for evaluation. The PCP can begin a laboratory evaluation before referral by sending a complete blood count (CBC) with differential, antibody levels, vaccine titers, and possibly other tests. Management approaches vary from antibiotic prophylaxis to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation depending on the specific diagnosis.
