“…However, this prediction is likely to be an underestimation in countries with a high rate of consanguineous marriages, since more than 70% of known PID-associated genes have an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance [1]. PID patients may present with a broad spectrum of clinical manifestations and immunological complications mainly during childhood [5,6]. Mutations in different PID genes may result in similar presentations; however, they may need also different management and therapeutic measures.…”

“…Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of immune disorders that affect distinct components of the humeral and cellular arms of the immune system. PIDs are caused by hereditary or genetic defects, and, although some disorders present at birth or in early childhood, the disorders can affect everybody, regardless of age or gender [ 1 - 3 ].…”

“…Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) are a genetically heterogeneous group disorders that affect distinct components of both humoral and cellular arms of the immune system [1][2][3][4][5]. Overlapping signs and symptoms of these diseases is a challenge for diagnosis and treatment [6][7][8][9]. Awareness of the symptoms and considering the possibility of a PID in differential diagnosis as the diagnosis key in many cases, help to rapid recognition and more appropriate treatment of patients [10,11].…”

“…Awareness of the symptoms and considering the possibility of a PID in differential diagnosis as the diagnosis key in many cases, help to rapid recognition and more appropriate treatment of patients [10,11]. Timely recognition and treatment reduced mortality and increased lifespan and quality of life of the patients [6,[12][13][14][15]. For practitioners to memorize all effective criteria to diagnosis is difficult, so developing computerized program based on diagnosis criteria, improves significantly the quality of care [16][17][18].…”
