{Abstract}: Inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are a diverse and growing category of more than 430 chronic disorders that share susceptibilities to infections. Whether the result of a genetic lesion that causes defective granule-dependent cytotoxicity, excessive lymphoproliferation, or an overwhelming infection represents a unique antigenic challenge, IEIs can display a proclivity for cytokine storm syndrome (CSS) development. This chapter provides an overview of CSS pathophysiology as it relates to IEIs. For each IEI, the immunologic defect and how it promotes or discourages CSS phenomena are reviewed. The IEI-associated molecular defects in pathways that are postulated to be critical to CSS physiology (i.e., toll-like receptors, T regulatory cells, the IL-12/IFNγ axis, IL-6) and, whenever possible, review strategies for treating CSS in IEI patients with molecularly directed therapies are highlighted.
