Immunodeficiency
Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a group of more than 400 potentially serious disorders that can lead to frequent or severe infections, swellings and autoimmune problems. PIDs can be caused by defects in the genes that control the immune system, and may be inherited. World Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) Week is 22-29 April 2019,.
