Pages

  315-326

Abstract

 Background and Objective: Primary Immunodeficiency diseases (PID) are a group of heterogeneous disorders of the immune system that, if not properly diagnosed and treated, result in chronic, serious, and often life-threatening infections. Worldwide, from 70 to 90% of PID sufferers remain undiagnosed because of poor Awareness. The aim of this study was to assess the level of Awareness of general practitioners and Pediatricians about Primary Immunodeficiency disease in the city of Ahvaz. Materials and Methods: An 80-item questionnaire, which was designed into 5 sections: clinical symptoms; associated diseases, and their symptoms; family history; laboratory investigations; and clinical management. The validity and the reliability of the designed questionnaire was assessed in a pilot study by Cronbach coefficient calculation. Results: The Cronbach's alpha value was 0. 79. A total of 257 physicians (200 general practitioners and 57 Pediatricians) participated in the study. The mean age of participants was 30. 35± 8. 54 yr (range 25-59, 61. 48% females and 38. 52% of males). Among the Pediatricians the overall mean knowledge score was 58. 91± 5. 47% (49. 31 to 90. 41%), while for the general practitioners the mean score was 65. 22± 10. 68% (45. 20 to 75. 34%). There was a significant difference in the percentages of correct answers between Pediatricians and general practitioners (P<0. 0001). Moreover, 45. 6% of Pediatricians and 9. 5% of general practitioners answered more than 67% of the questions correctly. Conclusions: The results of this study revealed that the both general practitioners and Pediatricians in Ahvaz city have an overall low level of Awareness on PID. These results suggest that a more comprehensive pre/postgraduate education in PID appears to be necessary for these groups of health care professionals.
