Introduction: Predominant antibody deficiency is the most frequent group of innate immunity errors, but information about patients’ nutritional status is scarce.
Objectives: To characterize the nutritional status of Colombian patients with predominant antibody deficiencies.
Material And Methods: Material and methods.

Activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase δ syndrome is an inborn error of immunity due to mutations within the genes responsible for encoding PI3Kδ subunits. This syndrome results in an excessive activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling pathway. Gainof-function mutations in the gene PIK3R1 (encoding p85α, p55α, and p50α) lead to the development of the activated PI3K δ syndrome.

Background: Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and recurrent infections. Significant morbidity and mortality are caused by immune dysregulation complications (CVIDid), which affect around one-third of CVID patients and have a poorly understood etiology. Here, we investigate the hypothesis that gut microbial dysbiosis contributes to the inflammation underlying CVIDid.

BACKGROUND Hepatic lesion in a young woman can lead to multiple diagnostic hypotheses, mainly infection and tumor. Crohn's disease (CD) is hardly evoked by clinicians but is reportedly associated with liver damage, especially diffuse granulomas and aseptic abscess. IgA deficiency has been associated with celiac disease or inflammatory bowel disease, including CD.

While Trisomy X syndrome is typically characterized by developmental and cognitive variations, it is not commonly associated with immunodeficiencies. We report the unique case of a 6-year-old girl with Trisomy X presenting with selective IgA deficiency, challenging the conventional understanding of this chromosomal condition. The patient exhibited recurrent respiratory infections and gastrointestinal symptoms, evaluated in the context of her genetic background of Trisomy X and significantly low levels of IgA (0.
