What are immunodeficiencies?

Immunodeficiencies occur when one or more components of the immune system is defective. Many immunodeficiency diseases are inherited and are seen as recurrent or overwhelming frequent infections. Primary immunodeficiencies, also called primary immune disorders or primary immunodeficiency disorders, are caused by genetic factors. Researchers have identified over 300 forms of primary immunodeficiency disorders.

Primary immunodefiency symptoms

Primary immunodeficiency disorders weaken the immune system, allowing infections and other health problems to occur more easily. An affected individual may exhibit a spectrum of symptoms, including:

    • Frequent and recurrent productive cough (wet cough)
    • Frequent and recurrent pneumonia, bronchitis, sinus/ear/skin infections
    • Frequent meningitis
    • Sinusitis
    • Blood disorders, such as low platelet count or anemia
    • Warts (HPV infections)
    • Conjunctivitis
    • Myelokatheksis
    • Otitis Media
    • Bronchiectasis
    • Inflammation and infection of internal organs
    • Asthma
    • Neutropenia
    • Cystic Fibrosis
    • Hypogammaglobulinema

Facts about immunodeficiencies

1.

Primary immunodeficiencies are caused by genetic, and not environmental, factors. Genetic testing can provide critical information to a patient.

2.

There are over 300 types of primary immunodeficiencies.

3.

Ongoing research is needed to improve treatment options for immunodeficiency disorders; we're partnered with researchers to help with that.
