Hyper and Hypo Immune Disorders Flashcards
1
Q
innate system definition
- onset
- principle cells
- does it need prior exposure to elicit response?
- how is is acquired
A
non specific response that targets many common pathogens. not pathogen specific
- rapid onset
- myeloid cells are principle cells
- does need prior exposure to elicit response
- passed on to each generation
2
Q
what is the innate system comprised of (7)
A
epithelial membranes mucous membranes complement factors neutrophils macrophages monocytes dendritic cells
3
Q
adaptive system definition
- onset
- principle cells
- how are receptors created
A
must be developed individually. active, powerful, but silent and adapts to antigens. specialized, unique specificity, cloning themselves with unique receptors/antigens
- onset is delayed
- principle cells are T and B lymphocytes
- receptors are created by rearrangements of antigen receptor genes that occur during maturation of lymphocytes
4
Q
2 types of adaptive immunity
A
humoral immunuty
cell mediated immunity
5
Q
humoral immunity definition
A
mediated by antibodies produced by B cells.
antibodies neutralize microbes, opsonize them for phagocytosis, and activate the complement system
6
Q
cell mediated immunity definition
2 types and what they do
A
T cells activated by protein antigens from antigen presenting cells (APC’s)
requires repeat antigen stimulation to perform their functions
1. CD4 helper T cells (secrete cytokines to activate macrophages, helps B cells make antibodies, and stimulate inflammation)
2. CD8 helper T cells (kill infected and transformed cells)
7

also known as immunoglobin (Ig), is a large Y shaped protein used by immune system to ID and neutralize foreign objects such as pathogenic bacteria and viruses
19
Q
what are neutrophils formed by
what % of WBC’s?
function of neutrophils
A
formed by stem cells in bone marrow
make up 40-70% of all WBC’s in humans
are phagocytes and are found in the blood stream
first responders to inflammation, especially bacterial. predominant cells in pus, creating yellowish/white color
20

types of neutropenia (5)
A
neonatal sepsis
kotsmann syndrome (autosomal recessive)
acquired defects (chemotherapy, antivirals)
autoimmune (lupus, RA)
infection (rate of consumption exceeds production)
22
Q
neutropenia treatments
A
cessation of medication causes, granulocyte colony stimulating factor (filgrastim), bone marrow transplants. respecting asepsis in the periop environment is important
23
Q
what system is spleen a part of
role of spleen
where its located
A
part of lymphatic system, primary blood filter. located in left upper abdomen
24
Q
functions of spleen
A
removed old RBC’s, blood reservoir, recycles iron, metabolizes HGB, stores 1/4 of circulating lymphocytes, stores and clears PLTs. globin portion of HGB is degraded to amino acids, and the heme portion is metabolized to bilirubin, which is removed by the liver. synthesized antibodies in the white pulp. removes antibody coated bacteria.
25
asplenia
absence of normal spleen function, type of immune dysfunction. increase of sepsis risk is 350 gold, due to inability to clear bacteria from the blood.
26
hyposplenism
reduced spleen function
27
hyposplenism and sickle cell anemia
can cause auto infarction of spleen resulting in vaso occlusive disease
28
prevention of infection for hyposplenism patients
immunizations are important. travel restrictions, antibiotic prophylaxis even with minor procedures, alert warning bracelets
29
leukocytosis definition
WBC count above normal range. normal reaction often in inflammatory response but can also be from tumors or leukemias, stress, pregnancy, convulsions and medications (corticosteroids, lithium, beta agonist)
30
acute leukemia presentation
immature WBC's in peripheral blood
31
chronic leukemia presentation
mature, non functioning WBC's in peripheral blood
32
types of granulocytes (4)

myeloproliferative diseases (blood cancers)
37
monocytosis (type of leukocytosis) associated with these 3 chronic infections and 3 inflammatory DO's
chronic infections: TB, bacterial endocarditis, malaria
| inflammatory disorders: UC, SLE, RA
38
lymphocytosis (type of leukocytosis) associated with these 4 chronic infections
chronic infections: TB, hepatitis, CMV, pertussis
39
eosinophilic esophagitis definition, triggers, pathophysiology
chronic immune system disease in which a type of white blood cell (eosinophil) builds up in the lining of esophagus.
this buildup, which is a reaction to foods, allergens, or acid reflex, can inflame or injure the esophageal tissue
damaged esophageal tissue can lead to difficulty swallowing or cause food to get stuck when swallowing
-may need dilation
40
neutrophilia
- neutrophil count
- onset
- result of (4 p's)
>7000/mm^3
within hours of infection, granulocytes increase 2-3 fold. mobilization of stored granulocytes and new from bone marrow
-pancreatitis, pyelonephritis, peritonitis, pnuemonia
41
leukostasis
>100,000/mm^3 neutrophil/WBC count. thick blood flow and WBC clumping can lead to TIA's and strokes. also decreases O2 diffusion via lungs
42
neutrophil count associated with myeloproliferative DO or hematologic malignancy
>50,000/mm^3
43
asthma
exaggerated bronchoconstrictor response to stimuli
44
extrinsic asthma
associated with IgE production and allergies. associated with (+) skin test.
45
intrinsic asthma
triggers are unrelated to immune system. include ETT placement, bronchospasm, cold, exercise, stress, inhaled irritants.
46
angioedema
- two types
- what is involved
histamine mediated: autoimmune. mast cell mediators released. urticaria, bronchospasm, skin flushing, HoTN seen
bradykinin mediated: C1 esterase inhibitor dysfunction. includes ACEI and acquired.
-involves face, extremities and GI tract. SQ and submucosal edema formation
47
bradykinin mediated angioedema can result from 3 ways
1. autosomal dominant deficiency/dysfunction of C1 esterase inhibitor.
2. ACEI's. blocks breakdown of bradykinin
3. acquired. lymphoproliferative DO's acquire C1 esterase inhibitor deficiency secondary to antibody production
48
what happens in the absence of C1 esterase inhibitor
release of vasoactive mediators that increase vascular permeability and produce edema by bradykinin. repeated bouts of facial and/or laryngeal edema lasting 24-72 hours
49
treatment of acute angioedema (6 options)
1. androgens (long term and preop, increase hepatic synthesis of C1 esterase inhibitor)
2. antifibrinolytic therapy (inhibiting plasmin activation, TXA, aminocarpmroic acid, aprotonin)
3. C1 inhibitor concentrate
4. synthetic bradykinin receptor antagonist
5. recombinant plasma kallikrein inhibitor (blocks conversion of kininogen to bradykinin)
6. FFP (2-4U, replaces deficient enzyme)

55
DiGeorge Syndrome
thymic, thyroid, parathyroid hypoplasia due to a gene deletion.
- will see decreased T cells but B cells are normal
- may also include cardiac malformations and facial dysmorphisms, truncus arteriosus and TOF, cleft palate
- degree of immunocompromised correlates with amount of thymus tissue present
- complete absence=SCIDS
- tx: thymus transplant or infusion of T cells
- anesethetic considerations: may need SBE prophylaxis, higher dose of abx, calcium supplementation if they have hypoparathyroidism, strict asepsis due to risk for infection
56
SCIDS (Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Syndromes)
- genetic mutations that affect T, B, and NK cell function/maturation
- X linked form most common
- lack of receptor -> lack of interleukin signaling ->lack of NK/B/T cell differentiation/maturation
- appear healthy at birth but are highly susceptible to severe infections
- newborns in US are screened for this
- tx: only tx is bone marrow or stem cell transplant, gene therapy or enzyme replacement
57
anaphylaxis clinical and pathologic manifestations
```
cardiovascular collapse (tachycardia, hypovolemia), interstitial edema, urticaria, bronchospasm, laryngeal edema
(immune mediated aka IgE or non immune mediated aka IgG or IgM and are "anaphylactoid", direct release of histamine from mast cells or basophils)
```
58
bronchial asthma clinical and pathologic manifestations
airway obstruction caused by bronchial smooth muscle hyperactivity, inflammation, and tissue injury caused by late phase reaction
59
allergic rhinitis, sinusitis (hay fever) clinical and pathologic manifestations
increased mucous secretion, inflammation of upper airway and sinuses
60
food allergies clinical and pathologic manifestations
increased peristalsis due to contraction of intestinal muscles, resulting in vomiting and diarrhea
61
Type 2 allergic reactions are mediated by which antibodies?
examples
timing
IgG/IgM, "antibody mediated, cytotoxic"
MG, graves, autoimmune hemolytic anemia
delayed
62
Type 3 allergic reactions are mediated by which antibodies?
| examples
immune complex
SLE, glomerulonephritis, vasculitis
delayed
63
Type 4 allergic reactions are mediated by which antibodies?
| examples
T lymphocytes "delayed hypersensitivity"
RA, MS, chronic transplant rejection, TB test
delayed
64
Type 1 allergic reactions are mediated by which antibodies?
examples
timing
IgE
anaphylaxis, bronchial asthma
immediate (5-10m)
65
histamine
vasoactive amine
stored in mast cells, released upon mast cell degranulation
causes rapid vasodilation, increases vascular permeability and smooth muscle contraction
66
prostaglandins and leukotrienes
lipid mediators.
prostaglandin D2 is the most abundant mediator generated by the cyclooxygenase pathway in mast cells, causes intense bronchospasm.
-leukotrienes are the most potent vasoactive and spasmogenic agents known
67
cytokines
tumor necrosis factor and chemokine recruit and activate leukocytes and amplify
68
risk factors for anaphylaxis
asthma, atopy, multiple past exposures to latex, hereditary conditions (angioedema)
69
diagnosis of anyphylaxis
- clinical manifestations
- plasma tryptase concentration (typtase is stored in mast cells and released during immune mediated reactions. indicates mast cell activation).
- plasma histamine concentrations. return to baseline 30-60m after a reaction. nonspecific
- skin testing
70
management of perioperative anaphylaxis
remove agent if possible, reverse HoTN and hypoxemia, replace intravascular fluid, inhibit further degranulation, inhibit release of vasoactive mediators, treat inflammation, relieve bronchospasm
71
epinephrine administration dosage for anaphylaxis
10-100mcgIV bolus q1-2m then IV infusion .05-1mcg/kg/min
| kids: 1-10mcg/kg by IV bolus
72
anaphylaxis resistant to epinephrine: consider the following drugs
glucagon 1-5mg IV bolus followed by 1-2.5mg/h IV infusion
NE .05-.1mcg/kg/min IV infusion
vasopressin: 2-10unit IV bolus followed by .01-.1units/min IV
73
secondary treatment drugs for anaphylaxis: 3 categories and their drugs/dosages
1. bronchodilator (B2 agonist, albuterol metered dose or neb)
2. antihistamines (H1 antagonist, diphenhydramine .5-1mg/kg IV. H2 antagonist, ranitidine 50mg IV)
3. corticosteroids (adults hydrocortisone 250mg IV or methylprednisone 80mg IV) (kids hydrocortisone 50-100mg IV or methylprednisone 2mg/kg IV). may enhance B agonist effects or inhibition of release of arachidonic acid responsible for production of leukotrienes and prostaglandins
74
patients with allergies to these things are at increased risk for drug allergies to anesthesia
asthma, fruits including kiwi and banana, medications
75
intolerance definition
inability to tolerate the adverse effects of a medication ex)muscle pain and statins
76
idiosyncratic reactions
drug reactions not related to the known pharmacological properties of a drug ex) dyskinesias and anti epileptic drugs
77
muscle relaxants and anesthesia drug allergies
rocuronium and succinylcholine
cross sensitivity among classes: benzylisoquinoliniums, amino steroids, OTC cosmetics contain ammonium ions and are capable of sensitizing patient to developing IgE antibodies to quaternary and tertiary ammonium ions.
-morphine and neostigmine also contain ammonium ions
-the histamine release from atracurium administration is non immune mediated
78
antibiotics and anesthesia drug allergies
- PCN most common, sulfonamides second most common and most common cause of SJS
- IgE antibodies can wane over time, may have reaction as a child, but able to take it as an adult
- negative predictive value of PCN skin testing is high
- PCN contain two allergenic components also present in other abx (B lactic ring, R group side chain)
- Vanc: more of a histamine release related to infusionlat
79
B lactam ring also found in
cephalosporins carbapenems and monobactams
80
R group side chain also found in
ceopalosporins
81
latex allergy
what tree causes it
at risk individuals (4)
- produced by rubber tree hevea brrasiliensis
- several hevea proteins can cause IgE mediated antibody response
- a feature that distringuishes latex induced allergic reactions from other drug induce allergic reactions is delayed onset
- at risk individuals include spina bifida, multiple previous operations, hx fruit allergy, healthcare workers
82
propofol allergy
- contains lecithin and soybean oils as emulsifying agents
- contains preservatives
- thought to be IgE mediated predominantly
83
ASA and NSAIDS allergy
- rhinorrhea, bronchospasm, angioedema can occur in at risk individuals. includes those with asthma, hyper plastic sinusitis, nasal polyps
- not IgE mediated, rather due to inhibition of cyclooxygenase 1 that promotes synthesis of leukotrienes and subsequent release of mediators from basophils or mast cells
- does not occur with COX 2 specific inhibitors
84
Radiocontrast media allergy
more common with ionic, high osmolar contrast agents the higher the iodine, the greater the risk of adverse reaction
-often non immune mediated, can pretreat with corticosteroids and histamine antagonists. hydrocortisone 1-2mg/kg IV, diphenhydramine 50mg IV, ranitidine 50mg IV
85
organ specific autoimmune diseases mediated by antibodies (6)
```
autoimmune hemolytic anemia
autoimmune thrombocytopenia
autoimmune atrophic gastritis of pernicious anemia
MG
graves
goodpastuer syndrome
```
86
systemic autoimmune disease mediated by antibodies
SLE
87
allografts
grafts exchanged between nonidentical individuals of the same species
88
MHC (major histocompatibility complex)
polymorphic genes that differ among individuals and function to recognize T cells mediates this. Transplant is recognized as foreign by recipients T cells. CD4 and CD8 is activated, migrate to implant, cause rejection
89
treatment of graft rejection
immunosuppression (corticosteroids, anti T cell antibodies, drugs that inhibits T cell function)
90
graft v host disease
commonly associated with bone marrow and stem cell transplant. the donor WBCs recognize recipient host as foreign. not same as transplant rejection.
tx: suppress t cells, steroids and calcineurin inhibitors
91
tumor lysis syndrome
3 things released into blood
2 causes
massive lysis of tumor cells results in release of intracellular substances into the blood stream. potassium, phosphate, uric acid are released.
-caused after treatments and on steroids.
