1 Warning signs of Primary Immunodeficiency for specialty care physicians The clinical presentation of PID can be diverse. However, there are clinical findings at the level of different organs and systems requiring PID suspicion; these findings must be quickly recognized by specialty care physicians: ALLERGY: Difficult-to-control asthma Recurrent or complicated sinusitis Recurrent or complicated otitis Eczema Recurrent angioedema Severe food and/or drug allergies Selective IgA deficiency Specific antibody deficiency Hyper-IgE syndrome IPEX ((immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X- Netherton syndrome (ichthyosiform erythroderma, ichthyosis linearis, bamboo hair) Hereditary angioedema (C1inh deficiency) DOCK8 defect (hyper-ige syndrome) CARDIOLOGY: Congenital heart disease (interrupted aortic arch, pulmonary atresia, aberrant subclavian, tetralogy of Fallot) Congenital heart defects THORACIC SURGERY: Thymoma and hypogammaglobulinemia Congenital heart disease (interrupted aortic arch, pulmonary atresia, aberrant subclavian, tetralogy of Fallot) Congenital heart defects Good syndrome DERMATOLOGY: Eczema or erythroderma Hyper-IgE syndrome
