In our longitudinal study, compared to non-allergic SIgAD patients, those with allergies did not present a more severe immune defect or complex clinical phenotype. However, evaluation and early identification of allergy in the context of SIgAD assessment, both at diagnosis and during FU, and definition of a proper management are important to prevent complications and improve the patient's quality of life.
