Abstract
Most clinicians associate primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDDs) with susceptibility to frequent or severe infections. It is less commonly recognized, however, that PIDDs are frequently associated with autoimmune or rheumatologic manifestations. This review provides a synopsis of the rheumatic manifestations associated with immunodeficiencies in each of the major compartments of the immune system.
