    Area of Science:

    • Immunology
    • Human Biology

    Context:

    • The complement system is a critical component of innate immunity.
    • Deficiencies in complement components are linked to significant health issues.

    Purpose:

    • To review the clinical manifestations and pathophysiology of known complement component deficiencies.
    • To outline laboratory evaluation procedures for suspected complement deficiency.

    Summary:

    • Hereditary deficiencies in complement components can result in autoimmune diseases, recurrent bacterial infections, or non-atopic cutaneous edema.
    • This review consolidates current knowledge on the clinical presentation and underlying mechanisms of these deficiencies.
    • Diagnostic laboratory evaluation protocols are presented for affected individuals.
