Abstract

Recurrent and chronic infections in children are one of the most common reasons for physician visits and present a diagnostic challenge to pediatricians. The majority of referred children with recurrent infections are normal. However, other underlying causes of recurrent infection such as atopy, anatomical and functional defects, and primary and secondary immunodeficiencies must be considered in evaluation of children with this complaint.
