| Abstract | At the beginning of the SARS CoV-2 pandemic, patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) appeared to be particularly vulnerable to a severe course of the disease. It quickly turned out that only some IEI groups are associated with a high risk of severe infection. However, data on the course of COVID-19 in patients with IEI is still insufficient, especially in children, hence further analyzes are required. The retrospective study included 155 unvaccinated people with IEI: 105 children and 50 adults (67,7% and 32.3%, respectively). Male patients dominated in the study group (94 people, 60.6%). At least two comorbidities were found in 50 patients (32.3%), significantly more often in adults (56% vs.21%). Adult patient presented significantly more COVID-19 symptoms. Asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic course of COVID-19 was demonstrated in 74.8% of the entire group, significantly more often in children (88.6% vs 46%). Moderate and severe course dominated in adults (54% vs 11.4%). Systemic antibiotic therapy was used the most frequently, especially in adults (60% vs 14.3%).COVID-19-specific therapy was used almost exclusively in adults. In the whole group, complications occurred in 14.2% of patients, significantly more often in adults (30% vs 6.7%). In the pediatric group, there were 2 cases (1.9%) of multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). Deaths were reported only in the adult population and accounted for 3.9 % of the entire study group. The death rate for all adults was 12%, 15.4% for adults diagnosed with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), 12.5% for those with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) and 21.4% for patients with multimorbidity. The results of our study implies that vaccinations against COVID-19 should be recommended both for children and adults with IEI. Post-exposure prophylaxis and early antiviral and anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibody-based therapies should be considered in adults with IEI, especially in those with severe humoral immune deficiencies and comorbidity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
