However, it is unclear whether and how children should be assessed.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>We retrospectively analyzed data from hospital records of previously healthy children aged 3 days to 18 years with SBI, including pleuropneumonia, meningitis, and\/or sepsis. Patients were diagnosed or immunologically followed up between 1 January 2013 and 31 March 2020.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Among 432 children with SBI, findings could be analyzed in 360. Follow-up data were available for 265 children (74%), of whom 244 (92%) underwent immunological testing. Laboratory abnormalities were found in 51 of 244 patients (21%), with 3 deaths (1%). Fourteen children (6%) had immunodeficiency considered clinically relevant (3 complement deficiencies, 1 autoimmune neutropenia, 10 humoral immunodeficiencies), and 27 (11%) had milder humoral abnormalities or findings suggestive of delayed adaptive immune maturation.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A substantial proportion of children with SBI may benefit from routine immunological testing, revealing (potentially) clinically relevant impaired immune function in 6%\u201317% of children. The identification of immune abnormalities allows for specific counseling of families and optimization of preventive measures, such as booster vaccinations, to avoid future SBI episodes.<\/jats:p>\n
