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.
