Lim et al(1) understandably interpret the results of their retrospective study with caution. However they only consider one possible chain of causation in seeking to explain their findings, namely that children with worse chest radiographs who made poorer antibody responses did so as a consequence of an underlying primary immunodeficiency. An alternative explanation would be that previous, chronic lower and/or upper resp...
