The complement system is an important immune system. Its activation results in membranolytic elimination of microbes and opsonization. The classical, alternative and lectin pathways (LP) activate complement. ⋯ Numerous studies indicate that MBL deficiency is a risk factor for invasive and recurrent infections, especially when other immune systems are immature, deficient or compromised. Research in ficolins is limited but last year ficolin-3 deficiency was described. This review focuses on these recently WHO defined immunodeficiencies.
