Abstract

Many genetic and acquired immune-mediated diseases affect the human respiratory system. Currently, there are over 350 Primary Immunodeficiency Dieases (PIDs) known, most of which predispose individuals to airway and lung diseases. We first briefly review different categories of PIDs and why PIDs affect the lungs. We present common features in all PIDs as well as the associated airway infections suggesting the possibility of a PID. The risk of bronchiectasis and various inflammatory disorders of the lungs is increased in PID patients. We give general recommendations into how to diagnose PIDs and the associated lung complications in a patient with compatible features. We also discuss the differential diagnosis between local defects in the lungs and systemic PIDs, as well as the initial assessment and follow-up of lung functions in PID patients. We also emphasize the importance of collaboration between respiratory medicine specialists and clinical PID specialists.
