A

Hyper acute graft rejection

30
Q

___ graft rejection is days to months, cell mediated immune response

Acute graft rejection

31
Q

___ graft rejection is months or years and weak cell mediated reaction against minor HLA antigens

A

Chronic graft rejection

32
Q

___ ____ ___ ___ - attack they recipient. Can happen after a graft, days to months. T cells in the graft are nature and capable of cell mediated destruction tissues within the recipient. Not a problem if patient is immunocompetent

Complement deficiencies

A

Know

36
Q

Most primary immune deficiencies are

Most are the result of a single gene defect

Generally not inherited

May appear early (2yrs) or late in life

Rare but increasing

Know

37
Q

Secondary deficiencies

Also referred to as acquired deficiencies

Far more common than primary deficiencies

Often not clinically relevant

Bone marrow transplant 
Mesenchymal stem cell injection 
Gene therapy
A

Know

39
Q

Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome

Syndrome caused by a viral disease

  • human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
  • depletes the body’s Th cells CD4+

Epidemiology

  • blood borne pathogen
  • heterosexual activity is most common route world wide
  • increasing factor in women than men especially in adolescents
A

Know

40
Q

AIDS is the disease and hiv is the virus

A

Know

41
Q

People don’t die of aids they die of the infections they get from having aids

A

Know

42
Q

HIV is a retrovirus and requires a host to replicate. Genetic information is in the form of RNA. It destroys the CD4 helper T cells.

Diagnosis of aids CD4 <200/mm3

A

Know

43
Q

Aids CD4 count must be

A

<200/mm3

44
Q

The viral load is how many copies of the virus is in each ml of blood.

Viral load must be undetectable or less than 20 copies or it is still replicating

A

Know

45
Q

CD4 needs to be within 500-1600 and if it’s below 200 you have aids

Diagnosis of aids
A

Know

48
