Viki is a BSI member and a reproductive immunology scientist at Imperial College London who has been looking at the data on COVID-19 vaccination during pregnancy and Jenna specialises in understanding how nutrition and lifestyle interact with the immune system in health and disease.
World Primary Immunodeficiency Week Virtual Issue
22–29 April 2021 is World Primary Immunodeficiency Week. Primary immunodeficiencies (PIs or PIDs) are caused by hereditary gene mutations that result in the disruption of normal immune function. There are over 380 different chronic PID disorders, ranging widely in severity. Severe combined immune deficiencies (SCIDs), which are characterised by the disturbed development of T and B cells, are the most severe form of PID. Although rare, the condition can be life-threatening.
