Investigating primary (inherited) immunodeficiency diseases (PID) in adults is crucial for persistent infections. Early diagnosis and management, aided by new resources like the PID Register, improve patient care and prevention.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Patients may present with infections suggesting compromised immunity, including persistent, recurrent, or disseminated disease.
  • Over 100 primary (inherited) immunodeficiency diseases (PID) are known, with some manifesting in adulthood.
  • Advances in immunology aid in diagnosing and managing these complex cases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline a diagnostic approach for five groups of primary (inherited) immunodeficiency diseases presenting in adults.
  • To introduce the PID Register of Australia and New Zealand for improved knowledge and service delivery.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnostic approach for adult-onset PID.
  • Utilizing a web-based registry for data collection and service improvement.

Main Results:

  • Identification of five key groups of PID presenting in adulthood.
  • Establishment of the PID Register of Australia and New Zealand.

Conclusions:

  • A structured diagnostic approach is essential for adult-onset PID.
  • The PID Register enhances understanding and care for Australasian patients with PID.
  • Early identification and management of PID are vital for patient outcomes and disease prevention.
