Complement factor D haplodeficiency is associated with a reduced complement activation speed and diminished bacterial killing

Abstract Objectives Complete deficiency of alternative pathway (AP) complement factors, explained by homozygous mutations, is a well‐known risk factor for invasive bacterial infections; however, this is less obvious for heterozygous mutations.
