    </History>
    <abstract locale="en_US">At present, a national consensus or guideline for diagnosing and managing patients suspected of having predominantly antibody deficiencies (PADs) is lacking. This consensus is written based on a combination of scientific literature and comments from the expert panel of Iranian immunologists. A group of clinical immunologists reviewed the current consensus, presented their comments at a meeting titled 'First Meeting on the Diagnosis of Inborn Errors of Immunity (IEI) by IEI Experts,' and agreed on this consensus. This consensus guideline provides recommendations on the diagnosis, antimicrobial prophylaxis, management of clinical manifestations, and immunoglobulin replacement therapy (IgRT) for patients with PAD.</abstract>
