Statement of Need:
Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) are a group of genetic disorders that affect development and function in the immune system. PIDs can leave patients vulnerable to frequent, severe, and unusual infections, and are associated with significant morbidity; patients with PIDs are twice as likely to be hospitalized and have significantly longer hospital stays.

Timely diagnosis and early treatment interventions are critically important to mitigate the disease and economic burden of PID, but the management of PID can be challenging for clinicians due to its complexity. Human immune globulin (Ig) therapy has significantly improved life expectancy and quality of life (QoL) for patients with PID; however, selecting a therapeutic product can be a complex choice, as it requires a thorough understanding of the classification of PIDs and the appropriate matching of a personalized treatment based on patient-specific factors.

This CME Outfitters Live and On Demand webcast is a case-based activity featuring expert faculty addressing the diagnosis and management of PIDs, as well as strategies for raising PID awareness and education.

Learning Objectives:
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
• Identify signs and symptoms of primary immunodeficiency to decrease diagnostic delays.
• Implement evidence-based treatment strategies to manage PID.
• Educate and inform patients about PID to reduce morbidity and improve quality of life (QoL).

The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
• Identify signs and symptoms of primary immunodeficiency to decrease diagnostic delays.
• Discuss evidence-based treatment strategies to manage PID.
• Describe ways to educate and inform patients about PID to reduce morbidity and improve quality of life (QoL).
