AB Primary  immunodeficiency  diseases  result  from  genetic  defects  affecting  the  development  and/or  the  function  of  immune  system  components.1-5  They  frequently  manifest  soon  after  birth,  although  some  become  evident  later  in  life.  Recurrent  infections  are  the  hallmark  of  immunodeficiency  syndromes,  with  the  types  of  infections  reflecting  the  nature  of  the  defect.  Autoimmune  disorders  and  certain  malignancies  occur  more  frequently  in  individuals  with  immunodeficiency  diseases.
