When to suspect an immune deficiency in adults?
Abstract:
Immune deficiencies in adults are quite common conditions in medical practice. However, they present with different clinical phenotypes, whether primary or secondary, which makes their diagnosis more tedious, hence diagnostic and management delays. Through this update, we will review the most common immune deficiencies, their presentations and features. This update's main aim was to propose to the practitioner a structured clinical reasoning and approach, in order to suspect an immune deficiency and initiate a guided exploration. It will also be easier for him to know when a referral to the specialist is necessary.

The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.

Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.
