Types discussion:

The various types of immune cells each have their own specialized function and must work together to fight disease effectively. Because there are many different types of cells that make up the immune system, an error in any one of them can disrupt our immune defenses. Depending on which cell and the type of error that occurs, more than 80 different forms of PI diseases are possible. Some are severe, while others cause few or no symptoms. All of them make people more susceptible to infections and other medical conditions. More boys than girls have PI, and patients’ first symptoms often begin in infancy or later in childhood.
