Abstract

Early recognition of primary immunodeficiencies is life-saving. The complete blood count test contains important clues in the early diagnosis of immunodeficiencies. Lymphopenia, early onset frequent infections, neurological findings and low uric acid levels in infancy must suggest purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency. Compensatory monocytosis, eosinophilia and hypergammaglobulinemia may accompany severe congenital neutropenia. Herein, 2 patients with severe immunodeficiency disorder are presented to emphasize the importance of hemogram parameters in predicting PID.
