    Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) lead to significant pulmonary complications, affecting nearly 40% of individuals with these disorders.

  • 2

    Pulmonary complications are a major cause of mortality in IEIs, accounting for 17.4% of deaths, particularly in conditions like common variable immunodeficiency.

  • 3

    Recurrent infections and immune dysregulation are primary drivers of pulmonary complications in individuals with IEIs.

  • 4

    Emerging techniques like multiple-breath washout and pulmonary MRI provide radiation-free assessments for monitoring lung health in IEIs.

  • 5

    Effective management of pulmonary complications in IEIs requires sensitive tools for detection, monitoring, and treatment response assessment.
