Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group
of inherited disorders characterized by different defects in the
development and function of the immune system. These defects render
patients susceptible to a variety of infectious diseases. Knowledge
of normal immunity and specific warning signs and symptoms can help
physicians to identify those children with underlying PIDs. This
book aims to increase the clinical awareness and knowledge of
practicing clinicians regarding the diagnosis and management of
PIDs. In order to achieve this goal, about 90 cases drawn from real
life are presented, along with approximately 300 related questions.
The selected case reports are the result of the invaluable
cooperation of more than 40 scientists in the field of
immunodeficiency. They focus both on the presenting features of
patients with PIDs and on the required further investigation and
management. Although the case scenarios relate to real histories,
some modifications have been made for educational purposes. Each of
the numbered cases is followed by the questions, their answers, and
additional discussion. Each question focuses on a particular aspect
of the PID under consideration, and the topics covered include
clinical diagnosis, laboratory findings, molecular mechanisms, and
therapy. This practical, case-oriented book will be an invaluable
source of guidance on the diagnosis and treatment of patients with
PIDs and will be relevant for those working in a variety of
specialties and subspecialties.
