Primary Immunodeficiency

Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) is an inherited disorder in which parts of the body’s immune system are missing or not functioning properly. It can result in recurrent and severe infections, allergies, and autoimmune diseases. PID is a rare condition, affecting one in every 15,000 to 20,000 individuals around the world. Early diagnosis and appropriate management of PID are essential in order to prevent long-term complications and improve the quality of life for those affected. Treatment often involves replacing missing antibodies or cytokines through the use of immunoglobulin therapy or other medications, depending on the specific diagnosis. It is important to note that no known cure for PID currently exists.
