Allergy, Immunology, Derm Flashcards
Cold Abscesses
Hyper IgE Syndrome
Hyper IgE Syndrome Genetic Mutation
STAT3
Hyper IgE Syndrome - Features
eczema, scoliosis, hyper-extensibility
cold abscesses, retained primary teeth, pneumatoceles
Type 3 Hypersensitivty Reaction
Immune-Complex
Type I Hypersensitivity Reaction
immediate rxn: anaphylaxis, hives/urticaria, allergic rhinitis/asthma
Type 2 Hypersensitvity Reaction
Cytotoxic, IgG or IgM mediated
Examples of Type 2 Hypersensitivity Reactions
AIHA, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia
Good Pasture Syndrome
Myasthenia Gravis
Examples of Type 3 Hypersensitivity
Serum Sickness, Arthrus Reaction
Autoimmune diseases
Type 4 Hypersensitvity Reactions
Delayed-type hypersensitvity
i.e: PPD, some asthma phenotypes
Duncan Syndrome
X-linked lymphoproliferative disease
several or fatal reactions with EBV
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency - Symptoms
delayed umbilical cord separation
omphalitis
severe gingivitis
skin lesions: cigarette paper scarring
LAD Type 1 diagnosis
CD18 by flow cytometry
Hyper IgM Syndrome
normal/high IgM, low IgA, IgE, IgG
recurrent infections, remember PCP
CD40 ligand
Serum Sickness, timeline for presentation
6-12 days after exposure
Type III hypersensitivity
DRESS syndrome, timeline for presentation
2-8 weeks after exposure
Antibody found in secretions
IgA
When do infants produce their own IgG?
2-3 months of age
Transient Hypogammaglobulinemia of Infancy
normal/variant production, will usually produce normal IgG levels by 3-4 years
no treatment unless recurrent severe infections (give IVIG)
Non-IgE reactions, common agents
NSAIDS, contrast, ASA
Chronic granulomatous disease - Features
X-linked
Recurrent abscesses
S aureus, Serratia, Burkholda, Aspergillus
Chronic Granulomatous Disease - Testing/Defect
DHR / dihydrorhodamine oxidation
cannot generate the respiratory burst
