Join us for the inaugural Updates in Primary Immunodeficiency CME symposium. This course provides an educational forum for faculty to deliver in-depth reviews of common and rare inborn errors of immunity (IEI), a group of more than 400 complex, chronic disorders.
After completing this educational activity, participants will be able to do the following:
- Identify hallmark non-infectious comorbidities of humoral immunodeficiency, including pulmonary, gastrointestinal and allergic complications of antibody deficiency.
- Critically appraise diagnostic and management complexities in IEI, including autoimmune disease manifestations, skin diseases and the use of biologics to treat immune dysregulation.
- Summarize the most recent advances in diagnostic methods to identify and manage IEI.
- Assess diagnostic and management strategies for NK cell deficiency, complement defects, and mannose-binding lectin.
- Critically appraise advances in treatment strategies for IEI, including immunoglobulin replacement therapy, prophylactic antibiotics, genetic therapy, and transplantation.
- Provide effective diagnostic and management strategies for recurrent infections and secondary immunodeficiency, including immunoglobulin replacement, hematopoietic stem cell transplant, gene therapy, and vaccination for immunocompromised patients.
- Review the use of vaccines in patients that are immunosuppressed.
