Q

What is the 5 primary immunodeficiency diseases

A

Primary is congenital/hereditary & uncommon (SIXDC)
Severe combined immunodeficiency genetic mutations that disrupt B & T cell development
Isolated IgG deficiency most common & decrease in s-IgA due to lack of secretory IgA
X-linked agammaglobulinanaemia of Bruton B cell deficiency
DiGeorge’s syndrome microdelection of chromosome 22
Common variable immunodeficiency low IgA & adult or acquired hypogammaglobulinanaemia
