Primary Immunodeficiencies in Costa Rican Adults
Primary immunodeficiencies represent a underdiagnosed group of rare diseases which if diagnosed well and in time can be treated in an efficient manner and prevent complications that may affect the quality of patients life in an severe manner. Neither in Costa Rica nor in Central America studies or national registries regarding the prevalence and characterization of primary immunodeficiencies in adult patients exist up to now. This study reflects for the first time the epidemiologic situation of primary immunodeficiencies in a Central American country, characterizing adult patients diagnosed with primary and idiopathic immune disorders treated in two specialized immunodeficiency clinics in Costa Rica.
