Flow cytometry plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and evaluation of primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs). It's a rapid and sensitive tool that can identify specific cell populations and subpopulations, assess cell surface and intracellular proteins. While genetic analysis provides the definitive diagnosis, flow cytometry offers a cost-effective and timely approach to evaluate patients with suspected PIDs. Recently EuroFlow organized an advanced course on PIDs. Experts from all over the world came together in Ghent, Belgium to get in-depth information about the standardized EuroFlow approach which can be used in diagnosing these complex diseases. With lectures by some of the most well-known EuroFlow experts in the field, case studies, a network event and a fun little knowledge quiz to top it all off, the participants experienced a great educational event organized by the EuroFlow Campus.
