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.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for health care professionals, including physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, fellows, and residents, with an interest in allergy, immunology, rheumatology, hematology and beyond.
