Pre-Conference Workshop: Inborn Errors of Immunity Workshop on Immune Dysregulation

What should clinicians know when the brakes of the immune system fails? This CPD-accredited workshop is all about immune dysregulation. Doctors should understand the basic science, clinical features of immune dysregulation and make sense of laboratory investigations. We end the workshop with an exciting talk on all the new treatment options.
