Question
Answer
What are the primary immuno deficiencies?   b-cell defects; t cell defects; combined t and b cell defects; phagocyte defects; complement defects  
🗑
What are teh antibody deficiencies? (B-Cell)   IgA deficiency; X-linked agammaglobulinaemia; IgG subclass deficiency; immunodeficiency with increased IgM; common variable immunodeficiency  
🗑
How does Tcell help for B-cell differentiation?   B cell CD40 binds to T cell CD 40 ligand (CD154)  
🗑
Explain antibody immunodeficiency with increased IgM   low igG, IgA adn increaed IgM; defect in T-cell help so there isn't differentiation.  
🗑
What is common variable immunodeficiency   CVID; occurs in 2/3 decades; no plasma cells; recurrent sinopulmonary infections  
🗑
Whoat is CVID treated?   IVIg antibodies  
🗑
What is primary immunodeficiency   due to intrinsic (congenital or acquired) defects in cells or factors of the immune system  
🗑
What is secondary immunodeficiency?   results from extrinsic factors, such as drugs, irradiation, malnutrition or infection  
🗑
What is most common cause of secondary immunodeficiency?   malnutrition  
🗑
What is seen more, primary or secondary immunodeficiency?   secondary  
🗑
What is hereditary angioedema?   C-1 inhibitor is deficient. recurrent edema of subcutaneous and submucoseal tissue.  
🗑
What does C1 inhibitor do?   activation of the clotting, kinin, plasmin, and complement systems.  
🗑
How do you diagnose an immunodeficiency?   recurrent infections; persistent or severe infections; unusual infections; paucity of lymphoid tissue; failure to thrive in infatns; skin lesions; oral and perineal candidiasis; diarrhea and malabsorption  
🗑
What is the laboratory evaluation of immune competence?   serum Ig quantitation; cbc and differential; lymphocyte counts; phagocytic index; complement activity; response to vaccination  
🗑
What is the major immunologic deficit in X linked agammaglobulinemia?   no B cells. affets male children  
🗑
what is the treatment for x-linked agammaglobulinemia?   IVIg  
🗑
What is the most commmon immunoglobulin deficiency?   IgA  
🗑
What symptoms are seen with IgA deficiency?   asymptomatic or recurrent bacterial infections  
🗑
What is severe combined immunodeficiency?   SCID; combined t and B cell defect. recurrent serious infections. fatal within 2 years w/o treatment.  
🗑
What is wiskott-aldrich syndrome   Immunodeficiency with eczeme, thrombocytopenia and recurrent infections; defects in Ig and T cells  
🗑
What are the 2 T adn B cell defects   SCID adn Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome  
🗑
What is deficient in SCID?   ADA and PNP  
🗑
Infants with SCID are prone to what types of infections?   oral candidiasis and opprotunistic diseases  
🗑
Waht treatments are available for victims of SCID   bone marrow transplant; bubbles; gene therapy  
🗑
How woudl deficiencies in MHC genes affect teh production of fucntional T cells   MCH will decide if a T cell will live or apoptose in teh thymus; deficiencies will not allow bad T cells to apoptose  
🗑
What is DiGeorge's syndrome?   thymus and parathyroid fail to devleop.  
🗑
What is the triad of DiGeorge?   hypercalcemia; dec T cells; congential heart disease  
🗑
What is the treatment for DiGeorge?   thymic tissue graft or fetal thymus transplantation  
🗑
What are extrinsic disorders of phagocytes?   defects in some other aspect of the immune or inflammatory response that diminish phagocytosis  
🗑
What are intrinsic disorders of phagocytes?   involve defects in teh intracellular killing machinery  
🗑
What is an example of an intrinsic phagocyte disorder?   chronic granulomatous disease  
🗑
What is chronic granulomatous disease?   defects in intracellular killing; granuloma formation; age of onsite is 2 years; x-linked;  
🗑
What is deficient adn defective in granulomatous disesase?   IFN-gamma and IL-12 defects and Rac2 deficiency; LEUKOCYTE ADHESION DEFICIENCY TYPES I and II; myeloperoxicase deficiency  
🗑
What is the primary defect in leukocyte adhesion deficiency?   B2 integrin defect  
🗑
What is seen in LAD?   High Blood PMN count; servere periodontitis, recurrent infections, early tooth decay  
🗑
