A hallmark is infection with opportunistic organisms (e.g., Pneumocystis jirovecii, Candida albicans) that rarely cause disease in an immunocompetent host.
The most common symptomatic PID in adults is Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID). Look for recurrent sinopulmonary infections and unexplained bronchiectasis. In contrast, an elevated WBC with a left shift suggests a normal, acute response to infection, not an intrinsic defect.
Do not confuse PID with secondary immunodeficiency caused by HIV, chemotherapy, or malnutrition. A thorough history of infection onset, frequency, and pathogen type is critical for accurate triage and referral.
