The First Iranian Cohort of Pediatric Patients with Activated Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase- δ (PI3Kδ) Syndrome (APDS).

Conclusion: Respiratory tract infections and humoral immunodeficiency are commonly the most important complication in pediatric APDS patients, and they can be fatal by ultimately causing catastrophic damage to the structure of lungs. Hence, physicians should be aware of its significance and further work-up of patients with recurrent respiratory tract infections especially in patients with lymphoproliferation. Moreover, delineation of genotype-phenotype associations with disease severity could be helpful in the timely application of appropriate management and patients' survival.
