Resumen

Antibody deficiencies are, by far, the most commonly reported immunodeficiencies worldwide.^{20 Fasth A. Primary immunodeficiency disorders in Sweden: Cases among children, 1974–1979 J Clin Immunol 1982 ; 2 : 86-92 [cross-ref]

The prevalence of antibody deficiency syndromes typically increases with decreasing severity. IgA deficiency, which occurs in some asymptomatic individuals, is the commonest immunodeficiency.^{22 Hanson L.A., Bjorkander J., Oxelius V.
