Immunodeficiency and Autoimmunity

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) include primary immune deficiencies (PID) and are a group of more than 480 potentially serious chronic medical conditions. They are caused by defects in genes that control the immune system and can lead to frequent or severe infections and other chronic immunological conditions, including autoimmune problems.

ASCIA Immunoglobulin Replacement Therapy (IRT) and Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (SCIg) information is mostly not specific for PID, and can be used by other medical specialties.
