MONDRAGON PINEDA, Ana Ivette  y  SCHEFFLER MENDOZA, Selma Cecilia. How to suspect patients with innate immunity errors at the first level of care?. Rev. Fac. Med. (Méx.) [online]. 2021, vol.64, n.4, pp.41-46.  Epub 25-Oct-2021. ISSN 2448-4865.  https://doi.org/10.22201/fm.24484865e.2021.64.4.06.

Currently there are 430 primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) also called innate immunity errors, resulting from more than 320 identified mutations, which together affect at least 1 in 500 live newborns and are therefore no longer considered rare diseases.

Many doctors do not suspect these pathologies, which generates delay in diagnosis and treatment, generating a poor prognosis for life quality and death, for which reason the objective of this article is to transmit the key points for their suspicion and reference to a specialized center.
