Abstract

Immunodeficiencies in children may be caused by primary immunodeficiency syndromes or can result from secondary disorders of immune regulation. Thoracic complications in immunocompromised children are frequent and may vary according to the type of the immunodeficiency. Imaging plays a pivotal role in detection and distinction of the variety of sequelae. It is important for the radiologist to understand both the spectrum of pediatric immune disorders, and the mechanisms underlying these disorders.

摘要

儿童免疫缺陷可能由原发性免疫缺陷综合征引起，也可能是免疫调节继发性疾病导致的。免疫功能低下儿童的胸部并发症很常见，且可能因免疫缺陷类型的不同而有所差异。影像学在检测和区分各种后遗症方面起着关键作用。放射科医生了解儿童免疫疾病的范围及其潜在机制非常重要。
