Introduction: Primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of disorders, common variable immunodeficiency disorder (CVID) and X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) are PIDs related to B-cell defect, characterized by reduced levels of immunoglobulins and immune dysregulation. Infections are the most common clinical manifestations, while underlying autoimmune and inflammatory conditions are present in some patients with CVID and XLA, leading to clinical misdiagnosis and diagnostic delay. Chronic diarrhea in patients with CVID and XLA, particularly complicated malabsorption and protein-energy malnutrition, is responsible for poor prognostic outcomes.

Introducing eggs as a weaning food can improve dietary adequacy in infants at risk for protein energy malnutrition (PEM). To evaluate the current objective, 72 pups (36 males and 36 females) were used to calculate the impact of various egg protein levels on blood parameters.

Dairy proteins in the diet are beneficial for the growth of probiotics; however, what is unknown is the gut-mediated immune responses under protein energy malnutrition (PEM) and if dairy protein hydrolysates can be effective as dietary interventions. This study compares the composition of the gut microbiota of rats with moderate protein deficiency (M.PEM) and severe protein deficiency (S.

Background: Vaccines to prevent meningococcal meningitis in the African meningitis belt include PsACWY, a polysaccharide-only vaccine; and PsA-TT, a polysaccharide-protein conjugate vaccine. Protein-energy undernutrition, a condition where children do not receive enough macro- or micronutrients, is related to increased risk of infectious diseases and poor immune function. Reduced immune function could affect vaccine immunogenicity.

It is mostly a combined disorder of both humoral and cellular component of the innate and adaptive immune response. SID occurs mainly in adulthood.
