Amaç: Bu çalışmada, allerji kliniğinde değerlendirilen ve primer antikor eksikliği saptanan hastalarımızın klinik ve demografi k özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Materyal-Metod: Çocuk Allerji Kliniğinde Eylül 2007-Ağustos 2010 tarihleri arasında takip edilen 4600 hastanın dosya kayıtları eşlik eden primer antikor eksikliği açısından incelendi. Bulgular: Hastalarımızın 97’sinde (%2.1) primer antikor eksikliği saptanmıştı. 97 hastanın 74’ü (%76.3) erkek idi (yaş aralığı: 13-204 ay). %21.6’sında anne ve baba arasında akrabalık ve %4.1’inin ailesinde immun yetmezlik öyküsü vardı.Hastaların tanıları: 62’si (%63.9) geçici hipogamaglobulinemi, 21’i (%21.6) IgA eksikliği, 6’sı (%6.2) IgG alt grup eksikliği ve 8’i (%8.2) IgM eksikliği idi. Hastaların allerji bölümünde izlendikleri tanılar; 63’ü astım, 18’i hışıltılı bebek, 6’sı ürtiker, 4’ü allerjik rinit, 4’ü atopik egzema ve 2’si besin alerjisi idi. Sonuç: İmmün yetmezlikler allerjik hastalıklar ile birarada olabilmektedir. Hastaları değerlendirirken bu hastalıklar da göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır.

Material-Method: The medical records of 4600 patients attended to our allergy outpatient clinic between September 2007 and August 2010 were reviewed for accompanying primary antibody defi ciencies.Results: Ninety-seven (2.1%) of the patients had primary antibody defi ciency. Of these 97 patients, 74 (76.3%) were male (age range: 13-204 months), 21.6 % had parental consanguinity and 4.1% had a family history of immune-defi ciency.The diagnosis of patients were as follows: 62 (63.9%) transient hypogamaglobulinemia, 21 (21.6%) IgA defi ciency, 6 (6.2%) IgG subclass defi ciency, and 8 (8.2%) IgM defi ciency. Their diagnosis in allergy clinic were; 63 asthma, 18 wheezy infant, 6 urticaria, 4 allergic rhinitis, 4 atopic dermatitis, and 2 food allergy.
