Primary Immune Deficits

Among the global, international and national days, the share devoted to medical awareness days is far from negligible.

Now is the time to perfect your culture and try to understand what PIDs are.
Primary Immune Deficits

The immune system of each individual allows him, in principle, to defend himself against the external attacks that are the infections. In some cases, it may happen that the cells responsible for manufacturing these defenses are defective and no longer protect the individual concerned. It is then that we talk about primitive immune deficiency, known under the acronym DIP.
1500 different DIPs

There is not a single form of deficit, it would be too simple! At present, 150 different forms of PID are known, and only in the French national territory are more than 5,000 persons per year suffering from PID.
A day to raise awareness

Sensitize yes, but not that the general public. Since the patients themselves and the medical profession afterwards, are targeted by this day and the organized events in order to discover the PID.
