Over six million people are affected by primary immunodeficiencies (PIs), among which 70 to 90% remain undiagnosed. PI patients with undiagnosed PIs are at increased risk for recurrent infections, cancers, and autoimmune diseases.
That is why Project ECHO at Penn State College of Medicine and the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF) launched a virtual series to help providers recognize the signs of PI and the appropriate and timely steps to diagnosis. This series will also provide an overview of up-to-date, evidence-based treatment recommendations and guidelines for patients with PI.
