The Practice Parameter for Inborn Errors of Immunity was revised in 2025 and published recently. We reviewed the most significant changes of this update regarding the previous parameter update in 2015. In contrast to previous revisions focused on individual genetic entities, this update was written with a new structure of recommendations divided into 2 parts: diagnosis and management. The diagnosis part includes discussions of newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency, genetic testing, and surveillance of comorbidities, in addition to reviewing clinically available testing for immunologic diagnosis. The management part includes recommendations for immunoglobulin replacement, antibiotic prophylaxis, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, precision medicine, and quality-of-life assessment.

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.
Subsequent T...
Introduction to Innate and Adaptive Immunity
Innate immunity is the body's natural, nonspecific defense system that acts quickly to protect against pathogens. It incorporates physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes and cellular elements such as phagocytes and natural killer cells. This part of our immune system provides an immediate,...
Special Features of Adaptive Immunity
The primary cell types involved in adaptive immunity are T cells and B cells. Each type has a unique role in defending the body against pathogens. T cells are responsible for cell-mediated immunity. They identify and eliminate infected cells directly,...
