Abstract
Background
Primary immunodeficiency (PID) in adults is rare and mostly revealed by infections.
Material and Methods
Adults without predisposing factors who were admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for infection were screened for PID.
Results
Six PID cases were diagnosed, mostly revealed by encapsulated bacterial infections.
Conclusion
Investigation of PID after ICU discharge should be considered to improve early detection.
