IMMUNOLOGY Flashcards
True or False. Evaluation of immune function should be initiated in the presence of: 1 or more systemic bacterial infections
True
True or False. Evaluation of immune function should be initiated in the presence of: 2 or more serious respiratory or bacterial infections within 1 year
True
True or False. Evaluation of immune function should be initiated in the presence of: serious infections in it’s usual sites
False
True or False. Evaluation of immune function should be initiated in the presence of: infections with common pathogens
False
True or False. Evaluation of immune function should be initiated in the presence of: infections and it’s usual severity
False
It is a condition wherein infants (<6mos) have cardiac defects, abnirmal facies and also has hypocalcemia.
Di George Anomaly / Thymic Hypoplasia
It is a T-Cell defect that is characterized by recurrent fungal infections and maybe associated with endocrinopathy
Chronic Mucocutaneous Candidiasis
It is a condition wherein school aged children have chronic fungal infections and are prone in having enteroviral infections aside from other bacterial infections such as sinusitis, otitis medua and pneumonia.
X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA)/ Bruton Disease
It is an X-Linked recessive condition where in there is a combined T abd B cell defect
Wiskott-Aldrich Sydrome
This condition is manifested early in infancy characterized by immunodeficiency, platelet problems and skin problems
Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrom
(Immunodeficiency, Thrombocytopenia Eczema)
It is the most severe form of immunodeficiency noted on the first few months of life characterized as having persistent fungal infection, failure to thrive and recurrent or persistent infections
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
This combined cell defect occurs in school aged children characterized by progressive cerebellar ataxia, telangiectasias, chronic sinopulmonary disease and malignancy
Ataxia-Telangiectasia
It is characterized by recurrent infections, delayed umbilical cord detachment and leucocytosis
Leukocyte Adhesion Defect
This condition is evident in young children characterized by albinism, peripheral neuropathy, susceptibility to infections and tendency to develop hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis
Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
The most common B Cell Defect
IgA Deficiency
Characterized by recurrent pyogenic infections with extracellular encapsulated organisms with mibimal growth retardation and is compatible with survival to adulthood unless complications occur
B-Cell Defects
It is characterized by recurrent bacterial infections with extracellular encapsulated organisms with increased incidence of autoimmune diseases
Complement Defects
It is characterized by recurrent infections associated with growth retardation, malabsorption and failure to thrive which have a poor prognosis beyond infancy
T-Cell Defects
In these conditions, there could be fatal reaction from live virus/ vaccines or BCG
T-Cell Defects
These conditions have recurrent dermatologic infections associated with infections in rare sites of the body and with poor wound healing
Neutrophil Defects
