title: Pulmonary infection following exodontia in a patient with glycoprotein-180 deficiency.
abstract: There is a significant increase in the occurrence and severity of infection in patients with immunodeficiencies, especially after minor invasive procedures. Therefore, alternatives to invasive procedures, continual vigilance of indwelling catheters, and appropriate preoperative evaluation and management of these patients are of paramount importance.
