Dietary intakes and nutritional issues in inborn errors of immunity: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are characterized by an inherited dysregulation or absence of immune system components that can manifest clinically in complications that predispose an individual to feeding difficulties or impaired swallowing, digestion, and absorption. Treatment side-effects or altered requirements may further impair nutritional status. While adequate nutrition is necessary for optimal growth and immune function, little is known about nutritional intakes in IEI, and best practice nutrition guidelines are limited. This review aimed to synthesize current evidence on the dietary intakes, anthropometry and nutritional biochemistry in individuals with an IEI.
