Bronchiectasis caused by common variable immunodeficiency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are characterized by impairment of one or more arms of the immune response, resulting in decreased defense, an increased number of infections, and, in certain cases, a higher incidence of autoimmune diseases and cancers.(1) Although PIDs are considered rare diseases, many of them are more common than are those currently diagnosed with the “heel prick” test. The manifestations of PIDs are heterogeneous and are usually caused by genetic defects of the immune system and its development.
