Clinical Manifestation of Immunoglobulin Deficiency
Frequent and complicated infections of the respiratory tract.
Patients suffer from recurrent attacks of bronchitis, sinusitis, pneumonia, otitis.
Infections are caused mainly by encapsulated bacteria: Heamohilus influenzae, Str. pmeumoniae, St. aureus, Pseudomanonas sp.
Typical complications are bronchiectasis and/or lung fibrosis.

Founded in 1981. Tertiary referral center for South Moravia
(approx 2 237 000 inhabitants). Also patients from North Moravian region
(approximately 1 910 000 inhabitants) are frequently, but not constantly referred.

Referral Diagnoses Different from Respiratory-Tract Infections
Prior to 1980 : (total 7 referred patients): none
1981- 1990: (total 19 referred patients): none 1991-2000: (total 37 referred patients) 1x hemolytic anemia, 1xhepatopathy, 1x herpes zoster, 1x family study in IgAD family, consequent
progression of IgAD to CVID.

Referral Diagnoses Different from Respiratory-Tract Infections
2001-2008: (total 33 patients) 2x progression of IgA deficiency (both
previously referred for recurrent RTI) 1x asthma, 1x herpes zoster, 1x problem with blood group determination, 1x generalized fatigue, 1x arthralgia, 1x family study in IgAD patient, 1x allopecia areata.

Conclusion The diagnostic delay in patients with primary
antibody deficiency has markedly shortened during the observation period.
Currently majority of patients did not experience pneumonia before the diagnose of hypogammaglobulinemia is made.
A significant diagnostic delay in some patients was observed, even in the recently referred patients.
