Brief Summary
The purpose of the clinical trial is to gain a more substantial understanding of bronchial inflammation in patients with severe primary immundeficiency under immunoglobulin therapy. It is intended to characterize the systemical such as the bronchial inflammation (IL-1, IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, TNF-a, NFkB, IFN-gamma, TGF-beta, TLR2 und TLR4)in children with severe immune deficiency in order to generate new treatment strategies based on the results. The methods being used for characterization purposes within this trial include specific lung function tests ( spirography, bodyplethysmographie w. helium) such as the analysis of eNO and eCO. Furthermore, sputum and serum samples are being analyzed by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR),(qRT-PCR) and by cytometric bead assay (CBA). Components of the innate immune system (mannose-binding protein, TLR recognition proteins and surfactant proteins) are genetically determined from sputum or blood respectively. In the conduct of the study the investigators will retrospectively and systematically evaluate the available high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) studies of affected patients.

Eligibility Criteria
The study is carried out in children and young adults (6-60 years of age). Both the patients (25) and the healthy subjects (25) are recruited from the outpatient clinic of the departement of Pediatric Allergy and Pulmonology and the departement of Pediatric Immune deficiency , University Clinic, JW Goethe University, Frankfurt/M, Germany
You may qualify if:
- informed consent
- to 60 years of age
- known severe immune deficiency under immunoglobulin therapy/ no immune deficiency ( depending on study group)
- ability to perform lung function tests and inhalation
You may not qualify if:
- \< 6 and \> 60 years of age on the day of written informed consent
- acute illness with systemic or bronchial inflammation
- every chronic condition or infection (e.g. HIV, tuberculosis, malignancy)
- pregnancy
- known alcohol and/ or drug abuse
- Inability to understand the extent and scope of the study
