Doctors’ awareness concerning primary immunodeficiencies in Brazil

Abstract: There is a lack of medical awareness concerning PIDs, even among paediatricians, who have been targeted with PID educational programmes in recent years in Brazil. An increase in awareness with regard to these disorders within the medical community is an important step towards improving recognition and treatment of PIDs.

“…It is very important for physicians to recognize the warning signs of PID, to be aware of the management of such patients. Other study revealed that 77% of physicians did not know the warning signs for PID 15 . According to our study, the percentage of correct answers to the questions about warning signs in adults was less than in children (61.8% versus 72.0%).…”

“…Mazzucchelli e colegas reportaram que apenas 10% dos pacientes suspeitos foram definidos como portadores de SCID com descrição do defeito genético. O grande número de casos não diagnosticados se deve em parte a falhas no treinamento médico (Dantas et al 2015), à indisponibilidade de testes diagnósticos acessíveis à população e à dificuldade do diagnóstico genético em casos de alguns defeitos específicos, já que na maioria dos casos não há uma relação fenótipo-genótipo clara (Nijman et al 2014). O maior problema nas falhas de conhecimento sobre SCID é que, devido à gravidade da doença, os pacientes vão à óbito em decorrência das infecções sem o diagnóstico, ou seja, um diagnóstico tardio significa um aumento na morbimortalidade (Pai et al, 2014).…”
