Objectives: Describe characteristic use of cannabis and tobacco.
Case Report: A young couple were nicotine-dependent smokers who also regularly used cannabis. After treatment for nicotine withdrawal they no longer had a craving for cigarettes but use of hashish increased.

Article Synopsis
- Primary immune regulatory disorders (PIRD) are complex genetic conditions that disrupt the body’s ability to regulate inflammation and maintain immune tolerance, leading to symptoms like fever, rash, and joint pain.
- Unlike primary immune deficiency disorders (PIDD), which primarily involve susceptibility to infections, PIRDs often show multiple autoimmune symptoms and can be difficult to differentiate from PIDDs.
- Diagnosing PIRDs involves extensive immunological evaluation and genetic testing, and treatment may include various medications, targeted therapies, or even stem cell transplants depending on the specific disorder.
