25
CVID presentation
recurrent sinopulmonary infections by pyogenic bacteria due to low IgA, granulomas, chronic diarrhea, autoimmune disease (anemia, thrombocytopenia)
26
IgA deficiency
familial or acquired, less defense of inhaled and ingested pathogens
27
Presentation of IgA deficiency
sinus and resp infections, urinary bladder infections, GI infection, autoimmune dz and allergies, anapylactic rxn against RBC transfusion
28
Transfusion related anaphylaxis
IgA present in transfusion may trigger anaphylactic reaction, red cell washing can prevent reactions
29
Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome triad
thrombocytopenia, eczema, recurrent infections due to T cell loss and hypogammaglobulinemia
30
Wiskott Aldrich mutation
WASP gene
31
Wiskott Aldrich treatment
stem cell transplant
32
Ataxia Telangiectasia
neurodegenerative disease, vascular malformation, immune deficiency (resp. infections, autoimmune dz, CA); autosomal recessive ATM gene mutation
33
Examples of secondary immunodeficiency
CA, DM, metabolic dz, chronic illness, treatment-related chemo/rad/immunosupression, AIDS
34
Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
manifestation when HIV affects body to degree where immune dysfunction results in opportunistic infections, secondary neoplasms, neuro manifestations
35
Beginnings of AIDS
started in 1980s and was mostly seen in homosexual men, blood transfusion recipients, infants/female; presented as infections ,tumors, neuro impairment
36
Who is at risk for HIV?
homosexual/bisexual men, IV drug abusers, hemophiliacs, other recipients of blood/blood components, heterosexual contacts, newborns in areas of high female prevalence
37
Most common modes of HIV transmission
Male->male, Male->female
38
Parenteral routes of virus transmission
IV drugs, transfusions
39
Mother to child virus transmission
placental transfer, during delivery with contact of secretions in birth canal, after birth with ingestion of breast milk
40
HIV virus classification
Retrovirus, lentivirus family
41
HIV capsid protein
p24
42
HIV glycoproteins
gp120, gp41
43
HIV viral enzymes
protease, reverse transcriptase, integrase
44
HIV LTR gene
initiates transcription, binds TFs
45
HIV gag gene
encodes for proteins inside the virus (capsid, matrix, nucleocapsid)
46
HIV env gene
encodes for surface glycoproteins
47
HIV pol enzymes
encodes for viral enzymes (protease, reverse transcriptase, etc)
48
Entry of HIV
attaches to CD4 receptor on T cells via gp120, gp41 allows for membrane fusion and inserts viral genome
49
HIV replication
Reverse transcriptase synthesizes proviral DS DNA from original RNA; integrase inserts proviral DNA into host genome; when host cell activates, LTR is triggered to transcribe viral RNA
50
Antigenic stimulation of HIV infected cell causes release of what molecule
NF-kB, initiating viral transcription (when it should be upregualating T cell response
51
HIV release
host cell dies, pyroptosis may occur (inflammasome-mediated)
52
HIV infection of non-T cells
macrophages, dendritic cells, microglia
53
B lymphocytes in HIV infection
proliferative response (due to secondary infection)m may become clonal (develop into lymphoma), non-specific hypergammaglobulinemia, impaired humoral immunity
54
Pathogenesis of HIV
infection of mucosal tissues, death of mucosa memory T cells, infection establishment in lymphoid tissues, spread of infection throughout the body, immune response (triggering partial control of replication), clinical latency
55
First detectable sign of HIV
viral RNA (use NAT)
56
Second detectable sign of HIV
p24
57
Third detectable sign of HIV
antibody to HIV
58
Window period
time between infection and seroconversion
59
Acute retroviral syndrome
fever, sore throat, muscle aches, self-limited
60
Viral set point
end of initial viremic spike, may predict CD4 cell loss and reflects clinical latency
61
Clinical latency
period of "silent massacre" of CD4 cells, may last years without symptoms
62
AIDS case definition
AIDS-defining conditions (P. jiroveci pneumonia, chronic cryptosporidiosis, invasive cervical cancer, CD4<200 cell/mm3
63
HIV treatment course when detected early
HAART initiated, CD4 counts monitored, prophylactic treatment against infections
64
Manifestations of AIDS
opportunistic infection (Pneumocystis pneumonia, TB, toxoplasma, C. mucositis) and neoplasia (Kaposi Sarcoma and lymphoma)
65
Pneumocystis jiroveci
opportunistic fungal infection, AIDS defining illness, diffuse or focal radiographically
66
Kaposi sarcoma
vascular tumor, Human herpesvirus 8, primary effusion lymphoma
67
AIDS related lymphomas
opportunistic viral infections may lead to EBV lymphoma, decrease in cellular immunity leads to B cell hyperplasia (burkitt lymphoma)
68
AIDS-defining cancer
cervical and anal cancer--viral driven
69
Amyloidosis
misfolding of proteins leading to beta-pleated sheets
70
Types of amyloid
local, systemic, acquired or hereditary, different chemical properties
71
Where does amyloid tend to manifest?
kidney, brain, heart, liver, fat tissue
72
Initial presentation of amyloid in kidney
proteinuria and edema
73
Initial presentation of amyloid in heart
dysrhythmias
74
Major fibril protein in multiple myeloma (primary amyloidosis)
AL
75
Major fibril protein in chronic inflammatory conditions
AA
76
Major fibril protein in familial mediterranean fever
