- In 2017, the Pediatric Hospital of Sinaloa joined the Latin American Society for Immunodeficiencies (LASID) to track cases of primary immunodeficiencies, diagnosing twelve patients so far, mainly males aged from days to sixteen years.
- The most common types of immunodeficiencies identified included antibody deficiencies (33.3%) and issues related to phagocytes, with significant mortality due to sepsis and hemorrhage among patients.
- The patient registry aims to gather important epidemiological data and improve healthcare policies to enhance the treatment and management of these conditions.
