SPYSI: Systematic Screening for Primary Immunodeficiencies in Patients Admitted for Severe Infection in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Severe infections in pediatric intensive care unit are not uncommon. Historically, the diagnosis of hereditary (primary) immune deficiency required a combination of recurrent clinical signs and biological stigmas. This paradigm is currently being questioned, and grows the hypothesis of a potential underlying genetic susceptibility in any severe infection. To date, the proportion of severe infections explained by an underlying immune deficiency is unknown.
The aim of this prospective study is to assess the incidence of primary immune deficiencies in children with severe infection, regardless of their etiology.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- number of patients with primary immunodeficiency revealed after a severe infection in pediatric ICU or in neuropediatric unit [1 day]
number of patients with primary immunodeficiency revealed after a severe infection in pediatric ICU or in neuropediatric unit
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Rate of to evaluate the sensitivity of our systematic screening [1 day]
To evaluate the sensitivity of our systematic screening in relation to an approach scrupulously following the indications of other published studies for the screening of primary immunodeficiencies
Other Outcome Measures
- The number of immune deficiencies that have no other call point based on the list of warning signs of the Reference Center for Hereditary Immune Deficiencies (CEREDIH) [1 day]
