To coincide with World Primary Immunodeficiency (PI) Week (22-28 April 2024) and the International Day of Immunology (29 April 2024) ASCIA has updated:

• ASCIA information for patients and carers about primary immunodeficiencies (also known as inborn errors of immunity)  
• ASCIA information for patients and carers about autoimmunity

Updated ASCIA SCIg Therapy - General Information includes subcutaneous immunoglobulin (SCIg) products that are currently available in Australia and New Zealand and management guides for SCIg infusion site reactions, problems and other reactions.

Updates have been made as part of the ASCIA Immunodeficiency Strategy to make it easier to:

• Read and understand, by simplifying language and changing to FAQ formats.
• Contact patient/carer support organisations by including weblinks at the start of each FAQ.

This news item was issued on 26 April and updated on 22 May 2024 by Jill Smith, CEO of ASCIA, the peak professional body for clinical immunology and allergy in Australia and New Zealand.
