Pulmonary Manifestations of Primary Humoral Deficiencies

Ana Casal et al.

Summary: Primary immunodeficiencies are genetic disorders that cause developmental or functional abnormalities in the immune system, affecting either the innate or adaptive immune system. Pulmonary complications are common in primary humoral deficiencies and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. Early detection and immunoglobulin replacement therapy are important for disease management.

Lung Ultrasound in the Screening of Pulmonary Interstitial Involvement Secondary to Systemic Connective Tissue Disease: A Prospective Pilot Study Involving 180 Patients

Natalia Buda et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated the efficiency of lung ultrasound (LUS) as a screening tool for pulmonary interstitial involvement secondary to systemic connective tissue diseases, showing high sensitivity and specificity in detecting ILD. Further prospective studies on a larger population are necessary to confirm these findings.
