dc.description.abstractIntroduction: Inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) are inherited disorders that present with increased susceptibility to infections as well as noninfectious complications. Due to the aberrant immune functions of patients with IEI, autoimmune cytopenia (AIC) may be the initial finding, which makes diagnosis a challenge. We aimed to evaluate the clinical course, laboratory findings, and treatment response of AIC in children with IEI. Methods: Data of children with autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) and/or immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) were obtained from a retrospective chart review of IEI patients diagnosed and followed in our center. Demographic and clinical features and therapeutic outcomes were evaluated. Immunologic findings were compared between patients with AIHA, ITP, and Evans syndrome (ES). The patients were also divided into two subgroups based on the presence or absence of immune dysregulation diseases (IDDs), and all data were compared between these two groups. Results: Out of 562 patients with IEI, 6% (n: 34) had AIC which were ITP (23.5%), AIHA (35.5%), and ES (41.2%). AIC was the initial finding in 50% of these 34 patients. Patients with ES had a higher mean percentage of CD8+ T lymphocytes than ITP patients (40.77 +/- 20.21% vs. 22.33 +/- 12.48%, p = 0.011). Patients with IDDs were more likely to develop ES (p = 0.004), lymphoproliferation (p = 0.005), and resistance to first-line therapy (p = 0.021) than other IEI groups. Conclusion: This study shows that AIC may be the initial finding of IEI, particularly when lymphoproliferation and resistance to first-line therapy co-occur. Therefore, detailed investigation should be offered to all patients to avoid diagnostic delay.en_US
