SAME OLD SAME OLD Core of PID management No alternatives Lifelong requirement (usually) Effective (bacterial infection, antibiotic usage, QoL, hospitalisation, life expectancy) Dose requirement in: - frequent breakthrough infections - chronic inflammation / tissue damage - poor prognosis disease variants
WHAT’S NEW? The three Rs: Reorganisation Reclassification Aarrrgh - ongoing uncertainties over dosing / target levels

RECLASSIFICATION Specific Antibody Deficiency Kawasaki Disease ‘Other’ Section
SPECIFIC DISORDERS Thymoma with immunodeficiency (Good’s Syndrome) Combined immunodeficiencies requiring haemopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) Specific antibody deficiency (SAD) Transient hypogammaglobulinaemia of infancy (THI)
SPECIFIC DISORDERS (GRADE C, LEVEL III)
SECONDARY ANTIBODY DEFICIENCY Malignant disease Drugs Protein-losing states Infection (cause & effect) Systemic disease Iatrogenic causes Chromosomal abnormalities
