In this brief review, only the most useful immunologic tests available for defining host defects that lead to susceptibility to infection have been emphasized. It should be pointed out that those evaluations and tests ordered by the physician will rule out the vast majority of the currently recognized defects. Finally, it is important that any patients identified as abnormal by these screening tests be characterized as fully as possible in centers specializing in these diseases before therapy is initiated, since what may appear to be a simple diagnosis on the surface may be an indicator of more complex underlying problems.
在这篇简短的综述中，仅着重介绍了用于确定导致易感性感染的宿主缺陷的最有用的免疫学检测。应当指出的是，医生所安排的那些评估和检测将排除绝大多数目前已认识到的缺陷。最后，重要的是，在开始治疗之前，任何经这些筛查检测确定为异常的患者都应在专门治疗这些疾病的中心尽可能全面地进行特征描述，因为表面上看似简单的诊断可能是更复杂潜在问题的一个指标。
