A2 - Sunshine, Philip PY - 2015 T2 - Neonatology: Clinical Practice and Procedures AB - Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a fatal primary immune condition characterized by the absence of both humoral and cellular immunity with severe lymphopenia. Patients with SCID have reduced numbers and function of both T and B lymphocytes (and in some cases, natural killer [NK] cells) and hypogammaglobulinemia. If left untreated, babies with SCID most often die within 1 to 2 years of life because of severe, recurrent infections.
