Four in five children with inborn errors of immunity globally remain undiagnosed. These figures are disproportionally high in low-income countries like Ethiopia. Apart from the inclusion of basic overviews of these disorders in to postgraduate pediatric curricula, little effort has been placed in to establishing clinical immunology training programs. This report summarizes the existing epidemiology of inborn errors of immunity in Ethiopia, unique presentations in Ethiopian children, challenges faced in diagnosing them, and efforts to improve their management.
全球有五分之四的患有先天性免疫缺陷的儿童尚未得到诊断。在埃塞俄比亚等低收入国家,这一比例不成比例地高。除了在研究生儿科课程中纳入这些疾病的基本概述外,很少有人致力于建立临床免疫学培训计划。本报告总结了埃塞俄比亚先天性免疫缺陷的现有流行病学情况、埃塞俄比亚儿童的独特表现、诊断这些疾病所面临的挑战以及改善其管理的努力。
