When I was a child I always suffered from lung infections and always had to stay in hospital. Also, I was always coughing. I was diagnosed with PID in 2002 at the age of 9 following an immunodeficiency screening at Mount Elizabeth Hospital (Singapore). After I transitioned from the paediatric to the adult ward, the doctors seemed clueless about my case as if they’ve never heard about it before. From childhood until today, all doctors that have consulted on me have been non-immunology specialists
