[Difficulties in diagnostics and therapy of infectious complications in primary immunodeficient patients].
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are group of more than 200 different genetic disorders. Reccurrent, severe infections are major clinical manifestation of these disorders. Ethiology and course of infections in PIDs are different, depending on type of immunodeficiency. We present short characteristics of infections in PIDs, as well as difficulties in diagnostics and treatment of infectious complications.
