Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are a heterogeneous group genetic defects immunity, which cause high rates morbidity and mortality mainly among children due to infectious non-infectious complications. The IEI burden has been critically underestimated in countries from middle- low-income regions the majority patients with these lack molecular diagnosis.We analyzed clinical, immunologic, data 22 Middle East North Africa (MENA) region. was collected national registries diverse databases such...
Problem-based learning (PBL) is one of the most commonly used educational methods in medical schools different countries. By working through this method, students think critically, generate ideas, and acquire knowledge skills required to become a doctor.This study aimed compare problem-based with lecture-based education students.This crossover interventional was conducted on 40 pediatric ward Zanjan University Medical Sciences.

Eosinophils are the principal effector cells involved in pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. We conducted a study to investigate validity nasal smear examination for detecting eosinophilia patients with rhinitis. Our group was made up 50 rhinitis and age- sex-matched controls without Smears were obtained from secretions both groups then fixed, stained, studied under light microscopy. Statistical analysis revealed that odds ratio positivity smears 25.61 95% confidence interval 8 78. The...

Primary immunodeficiency (PID) is a group of more than 400 distinct genetic disorders affecting both children and adults. As signs symptoms PID are usually heterogeneous unspecific, based on the available human resources laboratory facilities, diagnosis follow-up these patients can be challenging. In line with this notion, management treatment practiced divergently in different centers. order to reach national protocol given little evidence appropriate or universal guidelines improve current...
