Physiology (Bethesda). 2022 Nov 1;37(6):0. doi: 10.1152/physiol.00016.2022. Epub 2022 Aug 9.

Abstract

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are a heterogeneous group of disorders affecting immune host defense and immunoregulation. Considering the predisposition to develop severe and chronic infections, it is crucial to understand the clinical evolution of COVID-19 in IEI patients. This review analyzes clinical outcomes following SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as response to COVID-19 vaccines in patients with IEI.

Keywords: COVID-19; COVID-19 vaccine; SARS-COV-2; inborn errors of immunity; primary immune deficiency.
