Primary Immunodeficiency Unit

The Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) unit offers two immunologic screening tests;
namely the Lymphocyte Subset (TBNK) Enumeration Test and Immunoglobulin
and Complement Quantitation. The unit also offers specific functional assays;
Dihydrorhodamine (DHR) test for the chronic granulomatous disease, Bruton’s
tyrosine kinase (BTK) by flow cytometry for X-linked agammaglobulinemia and
lymphocyte proliferation assay for assessment of immune function in selective
cases suspected with T cells defects. The workload for 2021 is shown in the
following table.
