Medical students and residents preparing for Step 2 CK or pediatric boards
Reviewing primary immunodeficiencies before a pediatrics board exam
About
The Pediatric Immunodeficiency mind map template, based on OnlineMedEd for Step 2 CK prep, covers 98 nodes across three major branches: Adaptive, Innate, and Work-up. It systematically organizes primary immunodeficiencies by immune component, including Humoral (e.g., X-linked Agammaglobunemia, Common Variable Immunodeficiency), Cellular (e.g., DiGeorge, Acquired HIV), Combination (e.g., Wiskott-Aldrich, SCID), Phagocytosis (e.g., Chronic Granulomatous Disease, Chediak-Higashi), and Complement (e.g., C1-Esterase deficiency, C5-C9 Mac Attack). The Work-up section provides diagnostic steps such as CBC with Diff and Quantitative IG levels (IgA, IgG, IgM). This template serves as a concise cheat sheet for medical students and residents preparing for board exams or clinical rotations.
Terms and ConditionsWhen to use this template

How to use this template
Step 1
Launch the Template
Open the .xmind file in Xmind (desktop, web, or mobile app).
Step 2
Review the Core Branches
Navigate the three main branches: Adaptive, Innate, and Work-up to understand the classification.
Step 3
Annotate Specific Nodes
Click on any node (e.g., X-linked Agammaglobunemia) to read details and add your own notes.
Step 4
Personalize Your Map
Customize the template by adding icons, colors, or new sub-nodes for additional conditions or treatments.
Step 5
Export and Share Results
Export the mind map as an image or PDF for offline study or sharing with peers.
Frequently asked questions
The template covers 98 nodes organized into Adaptive, Innate, and Work-up branches. It includes specific immunodeficiencies like Bruton's agammaglobulinemia, CVID, DiGeorge, SCID, and complement deficiencies, plus diagnostic work-up steps.
Open the .xmind file in Xmind, then study each branch systematically. Use the Work-up section to review diagnostic approaches. Customize by adding your own notes or mnemonics to key nodes like Chronic Granulomatous Disease or Hyper IgM.
The template is available on Xmind's marketplace. Once downloaded, you can edit it freely in Xmind desktop or web—add, delete, or reorganize nodes to suit your study needs.
Focus on the Complement sub-branch under Innate. Note that C1-Esterase deficiency causes spontaneous angioedema treated with FFP, while C5-C9 defects increase Neisseria infections. Use color coding or icons to reinforce these associations.
Yes. The Work-up branch provides a framework (CBC, quantitative IGs). You can expand it with specific algorithms, add links to guidelines, or insert patient case examples for practical application.
