Q

Name a Bruton’s

A

Bruton’s = x linked gamma globulinopathy

Causing NO B CELLS as cannot produce immunoglobulin

26
Q

What is IFN gamma receptor deficiency, what does it predispose to

A

IFN gamma receptor deficiency prediposes to TB and antypical mycobacteria

IFN needed to produce granulomas

27
Q

What is common variable

A

Antibody deficiency
Failure of differentiation and fucntion of B cells
Reduction in all Igs, esp IgG

but they do have B cellls

28
Q

How do you differentiate between common variable and Brutons

A

Common variable - do get B cells but don’t work

Brutons - no B cells

29
Q

SCID

A

Recurrent infections
B cells and T cells don’t work very well = low

30
Q

Leukocyte adhesion

A

Neutrophils can’t get into the tissue, so can’t die in the tissue so you don’t get pus

31
Q

Bare lymphocyte syndrome 2

A

CD 4 low
MHC 2 not working
IgG
iGA

these two can’t be produced due to lack of class switching due to no CD4 for CD40L

32
Q

IgA def

A

2/3 not symptomatic
mucosal surfaces is normally where IgA is, hence lack of it causes resp and GI infections

33
Q

Leukocyte adhesion

A

Neutrophils can’t get into tissue
CD18 CD11 lacking

neutrophilia
all other wbcs normal

Delayed fall off of the umbilical stump

34
Q

Common variable is also associated with which autoimmune problem

A

Autoimmune thrombocytopenia

35
Q

type 3 hypersensitivity

A

C3
Ab
Ag
Immune complexes

36
Q

NK cells target which cells

A

Any cells which don’t contain MHC class 1

37
Q

Name a hereditary angioedema

A

Hereditary angioedema
ACEi exacerbates it
C1 inhibitory deficiency
Bradykinin mediated

38
Q

cd34

A

stem cells

39
Q

anti TNF

ILF17
IL 12 /23

A

Psoriasis targets

40
Q

GCA stands for

A

giant cell arteritis

41
Q

Denosumab target

A

Rank L

42
Q

ACE inhibitors can cause

A

angioedema

43
Q

Hereditary angioedema triggers

A

Food
Latex
Dental procedures

44
Q

Anti PD-1

A

Immune checkpoint inhibitors

45
Q

Myeloma qualifiers

A

Osteolytic lesion on imaging
eGFR - under 40
as soon as there’s one CRAB Symptom

46
Q

Normal eGFR

A

Over 90

47
Q

Waldenstrom’s lymphoma

A

IgM paraprotein
Hyperviscosity

48
Q

name a type of delayed transfusion reaction

A

post transfusion purpura

49
Q

How does delayed transfusion reaction present

A

Delayed haemolytic reaction would give you jaundice a few days later

within 28 days

50
Q
A

Kid and Rhesus D antigen antibody forms

51
Q

Delayed haemolytic reaction

A

Do you get a fever with delayed - yes

52
Q

immediate transfusion reaciton

A

ABO incompatibility

53
Q

What is the cause of haemolysis in HELLP syndrome

A

MAHA

54

57
Q

what is post thrombotic syndrome

A

bruising, venous problems after DVT

58
Q

drug used in Tumour lysis syndrome

A

Rasburicase - urate oxidase - makes uric acid more water soluble, therefore you can excrete it better

59

A

G6PD deficiency

60
