Primary Immunodeficiency is a long name for a complicated condition where a person's immune system cannot adequately protect against the normal threats in our environment. Usually PI as it is known has a hereditary cause and in some cases it can cause those with the condition to live almost in isolation for fear of coming into contact with harmful diseases or bacteria. But in this program we'll highlight the treatments that scientists and researchers have developed that can help people with PI live nearly normal lives. We'll also meet patients who have been living with this condition for many years and see how they manage day to day. Plus, we'll take a look into the future to see what advancements may be coming soon.
