Extended List of Warning Signs in Qualification to Diagnosis and Treatment of Inborn Errors of Immunity in Children and Young Adults
Background and Objectives: Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) refer to genetically determined disorders presenting with recurrent infections, autoimmunity, allergies, and malignancies. IEI is now commonly used, replacing the previously used term primary immunodeficiencies (PID). The 10 warning signs of...

description | Background and Objectives: Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) refer to genetically determined disorders presenting with recurrent infections, autoimmunity, allergies, and malignancies. IEI is now commonly used, replacing the previously used term primary immunodeficiencies (PID). The 10 warning signs of IEI are widely used in the identification patients with IEI. The aim of the study was to determine and compare the utility of the 10 and 14 warning signs in IEI diagnosing. Methods: A retrospective analysis of 2851 patients was performed (98.17% were subjects under 18 years old and 1.83% were adults). All patients were questioned about the 10 warning signs and four additional signs: severe eczema, allergies, hemato-oncologic disorders and autoimmunity. Sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values, and odds ratio were calculated for the 10 and 14 warning signs. Results: IEI were diagnosed in a total of 896 (31.4%) patients and excluded in 1955 (68.6%). The strongest predictors of IEI were hemato-oncologic disorders (OR = 11.25; p < 0.001) and autoimmunity (OR = 7.74; p < 0.001). The strongest predictors of severe IEI were hemato-oncologic disorders (OR = 89.26; p < 0.001), positive family history (OR = 25.23; p < 0.001), and autoimmunity (OR = 16.89; p < 0.001). There were 20.4% and 14% of IEI patients without any signs from the 10 and 14 warnings signs, respectively (p < 0.001). 20.3% and 6.8% of patients with severe PIDs had no presence of any signs from 10 and 14 signs, respectively (p = 0.012). Conclusions: The 10 warning signs have limited usefulness in identifying IEI. The modified list of 14 warning signs seems to represent an effective diagnostic method for the detection of IEI patients, especially those with severe PIDs. |
