An overview of primary immune deficiency disorders (PID) and laboratory testing for PID

Presented By: Vijaya Knight, MD, PhD, (D)ABMLI - Assoc. Professor, Dept. of Pediatrics, University of Colorado School of Medicine and Colorado Children's Hospital Speaker Biography: Dr. Vijaya Knight graduated from Mysore Medical College, University of Mysore, India, followed by a residency in Neuromicrobiology and Immunology, National Institutes for Mental Health and Neurosciences, India. She then obtained a PhD in Immunology from Melbourne University, Australia, followed by 3 years of postdoctoral work at the University of California, San Francisco, studying immune evasion by M. tuberculosis in human macrophages. She then spent 2 years as a Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation fellow at UCSF, working on T cell regulation in models of autoimmune disease. Dr. Knight then transitioned to the biotechnology industry and spent a couple of years a translational research scientist and was involved in biomarker discovery and development and immune monitoring for clinical trials. Webinar: An overview of primary immune deficiency disorders (PID) and laboratory testing for PID Webinar Abstract: Primary immune deficiencies (PIDs), otherwise known as inborn errors of immunity, are a group of disorders in which a portion of the immune system is missing or is not functioning properly. PIDs result in enhanced susceptibility to infection, often with organisms of low pathogenicity. Additionally, PIDs increase susceptibility to autoimmunity and malignancy. While severe presentations of PID are more readily recognized and referred to tertiary centers for follow up and treatment, more subtle manifestations of PIDs may go unrecognized and untreated. In this webinar, Dr. Knight discusses the basic components of the immune system, when to suspect primary immune deficiency and the current classification of immune deficiencies. Dr. Knight will also discuss the general laboratory workup when immune deficiency is suspected and will also elaborate on phenotypic and functional immunological analysis for specific immune disorders. Learning Objectives: Understand the current classification of primary immune deficiencies Understand general recommended laboratory analyses for primary immune deficiencies Earn PACE Credits: 1.
