Abstract

Abstract: Primary care providers (PCPs) play a key role in identifying patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDDs). This diagnosis has implications for PCPs, as patients continue to require primary care and management after a PIDD diagnosis has been made. This review presents essential information for PCPs regarding PIDDs.
