Participants will receive a concise review of the functional immune system, covering key components and their roles in protecting against infections. Understanding how the immune system operates is critical to identifying deficiencies that may lead to recurrent or severe infections in children. The session also focuses on early recognition of immunodeficiency, highlighting warning signs such as frequent infections, poor response to standard treatments, and unusual pathogen susceptibility. Clinicians will gain insights into distinguishing primary immunodeficiencies from common pediatric conditions. Additionally, the webinar explores immunological emergencies, offering practical steps that healthcare professionals can take to initiate a diagnostic work-up. By learning immediate interventions and referral strategies, pediatricians can improve outcomes through timely recognition and management.
