MIDTERM - immunodeficiencies and immunoproliferative disorders Flashcards
(150 cards)
Deficiencies of the immune system is also known as
immunodeficiencies
Deficiencies of the immune system include disorders of _
phagocytic cells.
B lymphocytes,
a combination of T and B lymphocytes,
the complement system application of
disinfectant.
The mechanisms of immunodeficiencies it could
be ____
acquired or congenital
____ result in a decreased ability
to phagocytize and kill bacteria.
Phagocytic cell deficiencies
is a genetic disease characterized by ineffective
killing of bacteria by neutrophils.
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
characterized by inability of
phagocytes to make the NADH oxidase
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
the important enzyme in generating the hydrogen peroxide
NADH oxidase
It is used
to kill the ingested bacteria.
Hydrogen peroxide
The effect of ___ is in line with the
decrease production of the hydrogen
peroxide
CDG
CGD is caused by a defect in __, which results in decreased hydrogen peroxide
production.
cytochrome b
___ is necessary for
producing the toxic superoxides that are critical in bacterial killing.
Hydrogen peroxide
Diagnosis of CDG
nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reductase test
is used to detect impaired
neutrophil phagocytosis.
nitroblue tetrazolium
(NBT) reductase test
mechanism of nitroblue tetrazolium reductase test
The neutrophils of CGD patients fail to reduce the Nitroblue tetrazolium dye
Symptoms of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
suffer from recurrent infections caused by catalase-positive bacteria, yeast, and fungi.
Treatment for CGD includes
use of GM-CSF or G
CSF and IFN-y.
is inherited as an autosomal
recessive trait and is one of the most common
inherited disorders.
MPO DEFICIENCY
MPO stands for
myeloperoxidase
deficiency”
have decreased or absent in
the primary granules of the
neutrophils
MPO deficiency
In mpo deficiency
The __ in the primary granules of
neutrophils is decreased or absent, and
although phagocytosis takes place
normally, bacterial killing is INEFFICIENT.
MPO
In MPO deficiency, which one is more impaired than bacterial killing
fungal killing
healthy patients with MPO
deficiency do not have an increased
frequency of infection, DIABETIC PATIENTS
who have this disorder may have an
increase in ___. infections.
Candida spp
is another inherited disorder in which
the AEROBIC SYSTEM of neutrophils is impaired.
Glucose-6-Phospate Dehydrogenase (G6PD)
deficiency
This deficiency results in a SUBSTANTIAL decrease in the amount of hydrogen peroxide produced during phagocytosis, and thus decreased bacterial killing efficiency
Glucose-6-Phospate Dehydrogenase (G6PD)
deficiency
