| Popis: | Data from Slovene national primary immunodeficiency (PID) registry are presented. Besides clinical and genetic data of patients with PID, quality indicators in patient care are included. Data are systematically collected in Department of Allergology, Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology in collaboration with physicians of different specialities. Increasing number and spectrum of PID are recognised in Slovenia. After establishment of Slovene multidisciplinary group in PID care in 2007 thorough immunological and genetic diagnostics, subcutaneous immunoglobulin replacement and treatment of PID with haematopoietic stem cell transplantation were introduced in routine clinical practice in Slovenia. Increased medium age of PID patients reflects improved survival and better recognition of PID in adults. According to the data in comparable registries percentages of patients with predominantly antibody deficiencies and complement deficiencies are low and high, respectively. |
