Preface
Immunology has found its way well into the practice of pediatrics. Years after publication of the first pediatric text books, footprints of immunology can be found in diagnosis and practice of almost all pediatric disorders. Delivering a magnificent contribution is the advent of novel diagnostic methods of molecular genetics in pediatric practice. Genetic diagnosis is now an indispensable part of the routine practice of primary immunodeficiency diseases, inborn metabolic errors, and monogenic malformations, making its way into diagnostic criteria of some as well. It wont go far wrong to state that the science of pediatrics has entered an era of interdisciplinary practice with genetics and immunology. The rapid flow of discovery of biological drugs during the last decade, availability of whole exome (and genome) sequencing methods, and the outstanding boost in the rate of success of hematopoietic and solid organ transplantation are all affirmative to this notion. Thanks to molecular genetic methods, an increasing number of the newly introduced monogenic diseases ar
