RESUMO
Since its first description in china in January 2020, COVID-19 pandemia outbreak has affected health organization and conventional care in all settings as wards, intensive care and surgery. Hip fracture patients usually are older and have a lot of comorbidities. This type of patientes benefit from early surgery. However, surgery in COVID-19 patients with active infection is associate with bad outcomes and mortality. We present three patients with COVID infection undergoing hip fracture surgery. Surgery was performed tree weeks after admission. Despite have risk factor (old age, arterial hypertension, elevated inflammatory parameters) the outcome was good and were discharged from hospital without events.

RESUMO
Primary immunodeficiencies are a group of mostly hereditary, or congenital, disorders. Some cases, however, show no hereditary pattern despite an evident familial distribution. The incidence of these cases is variable and the most frequent of them is immunoglobulin A deficiency. Many are pediatric disorders that are occasionally so serious that the patient does not survive the first year of life due to the development of systemic infections. In other cases, survival is much longer and it is possible to find adult carriers in routine clinical practice. These are less aggressive cases that form part of specific clinical syndromes that must be recognized so that appropriate anesthetic management can be planned. We review the clinical characteristics of primary immunodeficiencies that may be relevant to anesthetic management in these patients.
