Respiratory disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in these disorders. The most common characteristic radiographic and CT abnormalities recognized are noninfectious airway disorders, infections, chronic lung diseases, chronic inflammatory conditions (granulomatosis, interstitial pneumonias) and neoplasms. The aim of this study is to delineate and categorize the radiologic patterns of thoracic involvement in various subtypes of  PID.   Patients and Methods: A total  of  58  patients  with  diagnosis  of humoral, cellular  or  combined  primary  immunodeficiencies referred to Mofid Children’s Hospital, Shahid Beheshti University of medical sciences, Tehran, Iran, were enrolled in the study from 2011 to 2017. Their imaging findings were interpreted and compared according to their specific immunodeficiencies.   Results: There was a significant difference for alveolar opacification   in   combined   immunodeficiencies in comparison with humoral immunodeficiencies (58% vs. 30%, p value: 0.04). Bronchopneumonia- like pattern has been detected as a significant finding (p value: 0.01) in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (42%) and Hyper IgM syndrome (43%); compared with other subtypes of immunodeficiency. Two patients with CVID and associated  lipopolysacharide  responsive  beige- like anchor protein (LRBA) deficiency showed parenchymal changes suggestive of granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease (GLILD). Atrophy of thymus was significantly associated  with  severe  combined  immunodeficiency  (67%,  p value: 0.001). No significant difference was reported comparing bronchiectasis, bronchitis/ bronchiolitis pattern, pleural effusion and thoracic lymphadenopathy in patients with either humoral or cellular immunodeficiencies.   Conclusions: Primary immunodeficiency syndromes may provoke radiologic patterns of thoracic involvement, which may lead the clinician and radiologist to potential diagnosis of disease, and contribute to differentiation of subtypes of the disorder.
