ABSTRACT

Currently there are 430 primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) also called innate immunity errors, resulting from more than 320 identified mutations, which together affect at least 1 in 500 live newborns and are therefore no longer considered rare diseases.
Many doctors do not suspect these pathologies, which generates delay in diagnosis and treatment, generating a poor prognosis for life quality and death, for which reason the objective of this article is to transmit the key points for their suspicion and reference to a specialized center.
