“…The results of our study showed a lower nutritional status in the PID and the RRTI groups of children than in the healthy control group (according to percentile curves). Similar observations have been demonstrated in previous studies (17,18) . The assessment of nutritional status according to a very precise percentile method (but not the absolute values) was very valuable to our study.…”

“…As nutritional status has its in uence on susceptibility to infections, so may immune system disorders have an in uence on nutritional status [17]. Many original papers have proven higher frequency of malnutrition and anthropometric values abnormalities in some of diseases from the PID spectrum [18][19][20]. Because of heterogeneity of this group, results of each study should be analyzed with inclusion of certain disease characteristics.…”

“…Improper nutritional status has been seen in the patients with common variable immunode ciency (CVID) [18,19]. Additionally, analyzed anthropometric parameters have indicated higher frequency of malnutrition in these patients' population, comparing to general population.…”

Background: Primary immunodeficiences (PIDs) are a group of chronic, serious disorders in which the immune response is insufficient. In consequence, it leads to an increased susceptibility to infections. Up to date, there are about 350 different disorders classified in that group. There are also patients suffering from recurrent respiratory tract infections (RRTI), however that group doesn't present any abnormalities in terms of conducted immunological tests. Many factors, including medical, can have an impact on physical development of a child. Data such as birth weight and length, also weight, height, BMI during admission to the hospital were collected from 195 patients' medical histories from their hospitalization at Clinical Immunology and Paediatrics Ward of J.Gromkowski Hospital in Wrocław. Investigated groups included patients with PIDs, RRTI and a control group of healthy children. Our purpose was to evaluate the physical growth of children with PID and children with RRTI by assessment of their height and weight. All of parameters were evaluated using centile charts, suitable best for the Polish population. Results: The lowest mean birth weight and height was found among the PIDs patients group. Children with PIDs during hospitalization had statistically relevant lower mean weight than the control group and almost 18% of them had their height situated below 3rd percentile. The statistically relevant differences have been found between them and RRTI group in terms of weight, height and nutritional status. The statistically significant difference was detected between the nutritional status of PID and control group. Conclusions: There is a higher percentage of PID patients with physical growth abnormalities in comparison to healthy children. Our findings indicate a need for further investigation of immune system irregularities and their influence on physical growth of children.

“…Although primary antibody deficiencies may be associated with undernutrition, there is just one published study on the nutritional status of patients with primary immunodeficiencies [1]. Kouhkan et al studied 38 patients with different primary immunodeficiencies and showed that 21 % of them were underweight, 8 % overweight and 3 % obese [1].…”
