Primary immune deficiency diseases (PIDDs) are a group of genetic disorders that impair the immune system's ability to defend against infections, leaving affected individuals more susceptible to recurrent or severe infections.
Diagnosis is made through blood tests, immunological evaluations, and genetic testing.
Treatment options for PIDDs include bone marrow transplant, immunoglobulin replacement therapy, and medications that enhance immune function.
The prognosis for children with PIDDs can vary depending on the specific disorder, early diagnosis, and appropriate treatment.
