Popis: Primary immunodeficiency Disorders (PIDD) are a varied group of heritable disorders characterized by defects in components of the innate and/or adaptive arms of the immune system. Although diagnosing these disorders is often challenging, the skin is a readily accessible and easily assessable organ that may provide clues to a diagnosis of PIDD. Specifically, many immunodeficiencies are associated with characteristic cutaneous eruptions that, based on their morphology, distribution and symptomatology, may suggest a specific underlying diagnosis. This review will discuss an approach to identifying and managing PIDDs that typically present with eczematous dermatitis.
