Immunodeficiencies I: Primary Deficiencies of Innate Immunity Flashcards
(124 cards)
it’s very unusual to see a t cell def. that doesn’t also present as
combined immunodeficiency
primary immune deficiency, most molecular defects are
known
if someone has history of repeated infections, suggest diagnosis of
immunodeficiency
primary immunodeficiency are generally caused by
inherited gene defect
immunodeficiency disease only treatable by
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or gene therapy can be useful to correct genetic defects.
primary immunodeficiency are very
rare
secondary immunodefieicncies are very
common - major cause of infection and death
pure Immunodeficiencies
like x linked amanoglobinemia
clinical presentation is pretty similar
complex Immunodeficiencies
clinical presentation varies a lot
signifiance of Immunodeficiencies
increased risk of opportunistic infections and tumors
what are more common, primary or secondary Immunodeficiencies
secondary
primray or secondary can result in lesionsoutside of immune system
secondary Immunodeficiencies
X linked SCID is example of
inherited primary Immunodeficiencies
in SCID pt does not have
T cells
polymorphisms in primary Immunodeficiencies are much more common than
the mutations that give rise to the primary Immunodeficiencies
three causes of primary Immunodeficiencies
mutations
polymorphisms
polygenic disorders
selective IgA def. is most common of
primary Immunodeficiencies
notecard pg 8
8 - only do the ones he has gone through
asplenia is very
rare
APCEd defieicney in
AIRE
IPEX deficiency in
FOXP3
name some things that would cause you to suspect Immunodeficiencies
family history of it need IV antibodiotics or hospitalization to clear infection 2 or more infections of pneumonia per year 2 or more sepsis or meningitis recurrent or resistant candidiasis recurrent tissue or organ absecesses infection w/ opportunistic organism live vaccine complications non-healing wounds, chronic diarrhea

if there are recurrent infectiosn indictation there may be problem with
complement, phagocytes, or immunoglobulins
