The results and the complications following SARS-CoV2 infection in individuals with primary immunodeficiency(PID) remain unclear. The objective of this study is to report the course, follow-up, outcome of COVID 19 in 26 patients with PIDs from a tertiary PID center in Turkey. Infection mortality rate was found to be %7.69 which is eight times higher than infection mortality rate (%0.97) in general population in Turkey. Although it is clear that mortality in patients with PID is higher than in the normal population, it is difficult to suggest a more risky group among primary immunodeficiencies for COVID-19 with a complicated course according to the data published so far. The groups are quite heterogeneous regarding age, sex and comorbidities, but it is remarkable that patients who underwent HSCT with curative treatment had an uncomplicated course despite comorbidities. Future studies as metaanalysis getting data together may help to get a more reliable conclusion.
