Clinical Working Party

The clinical guidelines writing continues slowly – please contact me if you wish to be involved. 

We plan to publish these as ESID and ERN-RITA endorsed guidelines, and to have them available on the ESID website.

Current projects:

  • Consensus statement on diagnosis and management of GLILD in CVID (Klaus Warnatz: )
  • Consensus statement on diagnosis and management of CGD (Siobhan Burns + Andy Gennery:    )
  •  Malignancy in PID - workshop (with IEWP + iBMF) (Andy Gennery: )

Additional upcoming topics include:
Vaccination of the immunocompromised
Secondary Immunodeficiency

No further progress has been made on the ESID Library of clinical images, freely available to all ESID members for use in teaching and publications – again, please contact Andy Gennery if you would like to lead on this project.

A joint CWP/IEWP Thymic workshop is planned for September 2018 – further details will follow. 

Markus Seidel is leading a project on outcome of patients with LRBA deficiency – both those who have been transplanted and those who have not – contact him if you have data you wish to include:
