Primary immune deficiency disorders (PIDDs) are common and underdiagnosed. Predominant antibody deficiencies (PADs) are the most common type of immune deficiency and comprise 55% of the immune deficiencies diagnosed. Although immunoglobulin A (IgA) deficiency remains the most common type of PID, common variable immunodeficiency disorders remain the most common symptomatic PID for which medical therapy is sought.
原发性免疫缺陷病(PIDDs)很常见且诊断不足。主要抗体缺陷(PADs)是最常见的免疫缺陷类型,占已诊断免疫缺陷的55%。虽然免疫球蛋白A(IgA)缺乏仍是最常见的原发性免疫缺陷类型,但常见变异型免疫缺陷病仍是寻求医学治疗的最常见有症状的原发性免疫缺陷病。
