MIDTERM - immunodeficiencies and immunoproliferative disorders Flashcards
Deficiencies of the immune system is also known as
immunodeficiencies
Deficiencies of the immune system include disorders of _
phagocytic cells.
B lymphocytes,
a combination of T and B lymphocytes,
the complement system application of
disinfectant.
The mechanisms of immunodeficiencies it could
be ____
acquired or congenital
____ result in a decreased ability
to phagocytize and kill bacteria.
Phagocytic cell deficiencies
is a genetic disease characterized by ineffective
killing of bacteria by neutrophils.
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
characterized by inability of
phagocytes to make the NADH oxidase
Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
the important enzyme in generating the hydrogen peroxide
NADH oxidase
It is used
to kill the ingested bacteria.
Hydrogen peroxide
The effect of ___ is in line with the
decrease production of the hydrogen
peroxide
CDG
CGD is caused by a defect in __, which results in decreased hydrogen peroxide
production.
cytochrome b
___ is necessary for
producing the toxic superoxides that are critical in bacterial killing.
Hydrogen peroxide
Diagnosis of CDG
nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) reductase test
is used to detect impaired
neutrophil phagocytosis.
nitroblue tetrazolium
(NBT) reductase test
mechanism of nitroblue tetrazolium reductase test
The neutrophils of CGD patients fail to reduce the Nitroblue tetrazolium dye
Symptoms of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD)
suffer from recurrent infections caused by catalase-positive bacteria, yeast, and fungi.
Treatment for CGD includes
use of GM-CSF or G
CSF and IFN-y.
is inherited as an autosomal
recessive trait and is one of the most common
inherited disorders.
MPO DEFICIENCY
MPO stands for
myeloperoxidase
deficiency”
have decreased or absent in
the primary granules of the
neutrophils
MPO deficiency
In mpo deficiency
The __ in the primary granules of
neutrophils is decreased or absent, and
although phagocytosis takes place
normally, bacterial killing is INEFFICIENT.
MPO
In MPO deficiency, which one is more impaired than bacterial killing
fungal killing
healthy patients with MPO
deficiency do not have an increased
frequency of infection, DIABETIC PATIENTS
who have this disorder may have an
increase in ___. infections.
Candida spp
is another inherited disorder in which
the AEROBIC SYSTEM of neutrophils is impaired.
Glucose-6-Phospate Dehydrogenase (G6PD)
deficiency
This deficiency results in a SUBSTANTIAL decrease in the amount of hydrogen peroxide produced during phagocytosis, and thus decreased bacterial killing efficiency
Glucose-6-Phospate Dehydrogenase (G6PD)
deficiency
___ is considered as an inherited
disorders their mechanism is impaired
aerobic system of the neutrophils.
G6PD
is a rare,
autosomal recessive trait characterized by a
decrease or absence of specific complement
component receptors on neutrophils, monocytes
and lymphocytes.
CR3 (iC3b receptor) Deficiency
CR3 (iC3b receptor) are
responsible for ___
adherence-related functions
CR3 (iC3b receptor) Deficiency result in
defective margination and
diapedesis of neutrophils,
impaired chemotaxis,
ineffective phagocytosis.
this disorder will make T lymphocytes
adhere poorly to target cells
CR3 (iC3b receptor) Deficiency
effect of cr3 deficiency
Clinically, there is
an increased frequency of bacterial infections,
a decreased inflammatory response, and
neutrophilia.
is inherited as an
autosomal recessive trait. Neutrophils fail to
develop specific granules during myelopoiesis,
and as a result, patients who have this disorder
experience severe recurrent bacterial infections
Specific Granule Deficiency
One of the most common examples of
this would be the Chediak-Higashi
syndrome.
Specific Granule Deficiency
under the specific granule deficiency
is an inherited
disorder that is characterized by the abnormal
fusion of primary granules in neutrophils
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
During phagocytosis, degranulation is
impaired, and little or no MPO is
released into the phagosome.
Chédiak-Higashi syndrome
Patients who have ____have recurrent bacterial
infections and are also characterized by
ALBINISM AND EXTREME PHOTOSENSITIVITY
Chédiak-Higashi
syndrome
conditions under lazy leukocyte syndrome
job syndrome
tuftsin deficiency
actin dysfunction
also known as
hyperimmunoglobulin E
Job syndrome
is
characterized by poor chemotaxis and
recurrent skin infections and abscesses
or nana.
job syndrome
___ is a chemotaxin that also improve phagocyte
motility, engulfment and oxidative
metabolism
Tuftsin
A deficiency of the
cytoskeletal protein actin
Actin dysfunction
Actin dysfunction.
A deficiency of the
cytoskeletal protein actin, can result in
___ and ___.
decreased bacterial motility and
chemotaxis
may be
inherited or acquired and account for MORE THAN HALF of all immunodeficiencies.
B-lymphocyte Immunodeficiencies
➢ Second factor
B-lymphocyte Immunodeficiencies
A deficiency of a minor immunoglobulin,
such as ___, causes little if any increase
in the incidence of bacterial infections
IgD
because 75% to 85% of total
immunoglobulin is IgG, an individual
deficient in IgG would be significantly
affected.
true or false
true
is a sex-linked
disorder that primarily affects MEN. It is usually
recognized early in life when antibodies fail to
develop.
Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia
in Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia,
___cells may be found in the bone
marrow, but they do not mature
Pre-B cells
in bruton’s agammaglobulinemia
what globulin
levels are markedly decreased.
Gamma globulin
how to treat bruton’s agammaglobulinemia
This disorder may be treated with gamma
globulin preparations.
is
an acquired disorder in which one or two
immunoglobulin classes are deficient.
Common Variable Hypogammaglobulinemia
Total immunoglobulin levels are normal, because a decrease in one immunoglobulin is often
compensated by an increase in the production of
another.
Common Variable Hypogammaglobulinemia
___ deficiency is one of the
most common of Common Variable Hypogammaglobulinemia.
Selective IgA deficiency
is cause by the normal immaturity of the neonate’s immune system.
Neonatal Hypogammaglobulinemia
Neonatal Hypogammaglobulinemia
It corrects itself between the ages of ____ as infant’s immune
system matures.
6 and 12 months
composing only 7% of all immunodeficiencies.
These disorders may be acquired or inherited.
T-lymphocyte Immunodeficiencies
results when the thymus
gland develops abnormally during
embryogenesis.
DiGeorge syndrome
Abnormalities of other
endoderm-derived tissues are also seen
DiGeorge syndrome
DiGeorge syndrome
T lymphocytes are usually ___, but may be normal
decreased
DiGeorge syndrome
Most patients have high ___ratio.
CD4-CD8
In DiGeorge syndrome, the antibody responses are normal, which response is considered impaired?
cell mediated immune response
