  1. At 12 months, all patients with immunological phenotypic assessment are shown, including the three PID patients.
  2. *Only 25 patients were concerned and screened for this parameter; **36 patients; ***41 patients because of the type of infection or age criteria. FHL, familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
