REVIEW ARTICLE

Autoimmunity in human primary immunodeficiency diseases

Peter D. Arkwright, Mario Abinun, and Andrew J. Cant

From the Academic Unit of Child Health, University of Manchester, St Mary's Hospital, Manchester, and the Paediatric Immunology and Infectious Diseases Unit, Newcastle General Hospital, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom.

Human primary immunodeficiency diseases are experiments of nature characterized by an increased susceptibility to infection. In many cases, they are also associated with troublesome and sometimes life-threatening autoimmune complications. In the past few years, great strides have been made in understanding the molecular basis of primary immunodeficiencies, and this had led to more focused and successful treatment. This review has 3 aims: (1) to highlight the variety of autoimmune phenomena associated with human primary immunodeficiency diseases; (2) to explore how primary immunodeficiencies predispose patients to autoimmune phenomena triggered by opportunistic infections; and (3) to consider the rationale for the current treatment strategies for autoimmune phenomena, specifically in relation to primary immunodeficiency diseases. Reviewing recent advances in our understanding of the small subgroup of patients with defined causes for their autoimmunity may lead to the development of more effective treatment strategies for idiopathic human autoimmune diseases.
