Beginning in 1970, a committee was constituted under the auspices of World Health Organization (WHO) to catalog primary immunodeficiencies. Twenty years later, International Union Immunological Societies (IUIS) took remit this committee. The current report details categorization and listing 354 (as February 2017) inborn errors immunity. growth increasing complexity field have been impressive, encompassing an variety conditions, classification described here will serve as critical reference...

We report the updated classification of primary immunodeficiency diseases, compiled by ad hoc Expert Committee International Union Immunological Societies. As compared to previous edition, more than 15 novel disease entities have been added in version. For each disorders, key clinical and laboratory features are provided. This is meant help diagnostic approach patients with these diseases.

Since the 1990s, International Union of Immunological Societies (IUIS) PID expert committee (EC), now called Inborn Errors Immunity Committee, has published every other year a classification inborn errors immunity. This complete catalog serves as reference for immunologists and researchers worldwide. However, it was unadapted clinicians at bedside. For those, IUIS EC is publishing phenotypical since 2013, which proved to be more user-friendly. There are 320 single-gene immunity underlying...

There is a lack of high-quality evidence based on the gold standard oral food challenges to determine allergy prevalence. Nevertheless, studies using surrogate measures allergy, such as health service utilization and clinical history, together with allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE), provide compelling data that prevalence increasing in both Western developing countries. In countries, challenge-diagnosed has been reported be high 10%, greatest noted among younger children. also...

Autosomal recessive interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-4 and myeloid differentiation factor (MyD)88 deficiencies impair Toll-like receptor (TLR)- receptor-mediated immunity. We documented the clinical features outcome of 48 patients with IRAK-4 deficiency 12 MyD88 deficiency, from 37 kindreds in 15 countries. The were indistinguishable. There no severe viral, parasitic, fungal diseases, range bacterial infections was narrow. Noninvasive occurred 52 patients, a high incidence...

Human interleukin (IL) 1 receptor–associated kinase 4 (IRAK-4) deficiency is a recently discovered primary immunodeficiency that impairs Toll/IL-1R immunity, except for the Toll-like receptor (TLR) 3– and TLR4–interferon (IFN)-a/b pathways. The clinical immunological phenotype remains largely unknown. We diagnosed up to 28 patients with IRAK-4 deficiency, tested blood TLR responses individual leukocyte subsets, multiple cytokines. patients' peripheral mononuclear cells (PBMCs) did not induce...

It is generally accepted that the prevalence of food allergy has been increasing in recent decades, particularly westernised countries, yet high-quality evidence based on challenge confirmed diagnosis to support this assumption lacking because high cost and potential risks associated with conducting challenges large populations.
