1911-1917: The discoveryof inapparent infections
Only 10-7 to 10-1 infected individualsdevelop clinical disease
Microbes are necessary but not sufficient to cause disease
Even in the course of primaryinfections …
What accounts forinter-individual variability ?
What is the pathogenesisof infectious diseases ?...
Puberty
Single-gene defects
Age
Polygenic/Complex predisposition
100%
Genetic cases of life-threatening infections
Primary infection Secondary infection/Reactivation

New targets: fulminant viral hepatitis, acute viral myocarditis, etc.
New technologies: deep sequencing, stem cells, etc.
Conclusions and perspectives
Pioneers and leaders in the field of human inborn errors of immunity
Aim: dissecting the molecular basis of host defense in natura
The genetic theory: the new frontier in infectious diseases
Aim: understanding the pathogenesis of infectious diseases (at last)
