Immunodeficiency Flashcards
B cell immunodeficiency dz
- Brutons
- IgA def
- Hyper IgM
T cells immunodeficiency dz
digeorge
HIV( aquired)
phagocytosis dz 3
- chronic granulomatous dz
- leukocyte adhesion def
- chediac hidashi
3 dz that are from problem with both T and B cells
wiskott aldrich
Ataxic telectantasia
SCID mega aids w/o virus
Complement dz
C1 esterase deficiency (edema)
C9 and C5 mac attack predispose to infxn
when think pt has a immuno deficiency?
- FTT with diarrhea
- recurrent infxn w/o immunity
- severe infection when typically not severe
- unusual pathogens
when do immuno deficiency dz show up?
after 6 months once mom’s antibodies wear off and baby isnt making their own
workup first two steps
- CBC with diff
- quantitative IgG level (show you G,A,M)
- then dz specific
big idea main immunodef treatment goals
- avoid antigens kid cant fight off
2. give them what they dont have
Bruton’s aka
X linked A Ig -enemia
Brutons def
x linked dz
no immunoglobulins
B cells, Brutons, Boys
6 mo old sinopulmonary infections, boy
Brutons XLA
Brutons workup
- CBC normal
- quant Ig: zero
- flow cytometry shows no B cells
- confirm dx with RTK gene
burton’s tx
schedule Iv IG treatments lifetime
- or BM transplant yet usually too severe
combined variable immunodeficiency def
mild form of burtons
recurrent sinopulmonary dz in older kid… think?
CVID
CVID workup
CBC normal
QIG decrease in 2/3 of the Ig
less severe burtons
CVID tx
no BM transplant necessary
schedule IV Ig
IgA deficieny patho
low IgA cannot fight mucosal infections
sinopulmonary infxn
GI bugs
or asx till get blood transfusion then anaphylaxis
IgA deficiency
IgA dx
cbc normal
quant low IgA yet higher igM and IgG
IgA tx
- no tx
- watch out for anaphylaxis for blood transfusions
- screen future blood transfusions and remove IgA (looks like a foreign protein to body = anaphylaxis)
