Q

A 6 year old child has a history of recurrant infections with pyogenic bacteria, uncluding staph aureus and strep pneumoniae. the infections are accompanied by a neutrphilic leukocytosis. Microscopic examination of a biopsy specimen obtained from an area of soft tissue necrosis shows a DEFECT IN ROLLING. This childs increased succeptability to infections is most likely caused by a defect in which one of the followign molecules

selectins

integrins

leukotriene B4

complement C3b

NADPH oxidase

A

SELECTINS- this is c/w LAD 2

integrins would be LAD1

Leukotriene B4 is associated with chemotaxis of neutrophils
