AB  - As  detailed  in  chapter  49,  host  defense  mechanisms  against  pathogens  are  defective  in  the  newborn  as  a  result  of  immature  immunity.  Preterm  infants  are  particularly  vulnerable  to  infections  associated  with  prematurity-related  complications  and  medical  interventions.  The  recognition  of  inborn  errors  of  immunity  and  differentiation  from  functional  immaturity  of  the  immune  system  pose  a  diagnostic  challenge.  An  organized  clinical  approach  is  essential  to  facilitate  early  diagnosis,  which  has  a  significant  impact  on  prognosis  and  survival.
