PIDDs (primary immune deficiency diseases) are rare inherited disorders that affect the immune system. People with PIDDs may be vulnerable to chronic, severe infections because their immune systems aren't functioning properly.
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
While there is no cure for PIDDs, various treatments can help individuals maintain good health and lead active lives. The only potential curative options are hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or gene therapy. Supportive treatments, including antibiotics and antivirals, are used to manage and prevent infections.
