A 6-year-old girl is found to be nearsighted during a vision screening at school, and the school nurse tells the parents the child should be fitted for corrective lenses. Her mother is upset because her daughter is already much taller than her classmates, has an awkward gait, and was recently diagnosed with scoliosis. She is afraid that the glasses will only add to her daughter’s problems at school, where her classmates frequently tease her. When the ophthalmologist observes that the patient’s right lens is dislocated, he suspects that her symptoms are in fact related to an enzyme deficiency. As a result of this deficiency, which of the following amino acids is essential in this patient’s diet? (A) Cysteine (B) Lysine (C) Methionine (D) Tryptophan (E) Tyrosine
The correct answer is A.
Homocystinuria is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a defect in cystathionine synthase, the enzyme that converts homocysteine to cystathionine. Cystathionine
is later converted to cysteine, so patients
with this enzyme defi ciency are required
to supplement their diets with exogenous
cysteine. In addition to marfanlike features and subluxation of the lens, these patients are at increased risk of a variety of cardiovascular derangements,

A 3-year-old girl is brought to her pediatrician because of a progressive loss of motor function and a decline in her cognitive abilities. On physical examination, it is noted that the patient has decreased deep tendon reflexes, truncal ataxia, and a decreased attention span in comparison to the child’s last visit 6 months ago. The physician knows that her pathology is due to an abnormal accumulation of cerebroside sulfate in her brain, peripheral nerves, kidney, and liver.

A pediatrician becomes concerned after learning the family and medical history of an infant who is currently suffering from pneumonia, with a presumed diagnosis of Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. Over the past year, the patient has suffered from erysipelas as well as a previous bout of pneumococcal pneumonia; both were treated successfully with antibiotics. The patient’s mother says that her son’s maternal uncle also suffered from repeated bacterial infections and was successfully treated with antibiotics. On physical examination, it appears that the patient does not have tonsils. His mother denies a previous tonsillectomy. Analysis of the boy’s serum would most likely yield which of the following results?
(A) Absence of T lymphocytes
(B) <200 CD4+ T lymphocytes/mm3
(C) IgA, IgG, and IgM levels normal
(D) IgG and IgM levels markedly decreased,
no IgA
(E) IgG and IgM levels normal, IgA markedly

2. A 23-year-old man comes to the physician with a bacterial infection. On questioning the patient reveals a history of recurrent bacterial, fungal, and viral infections. Blood is drawn and sent for laboratory analysis, which reveals all levels of immune cells (eg., T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes) are low. Which of the following conditions is most likely to have caused the patient’s symptoms? (A) Ataxia-telangiectasia (B) Chédiak-Higashi disease (C) Common variable immunodefi ciency (D) Job’s syndrome (E) Severe combined immunodefi ciency (F) Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (G) X-linked agammaglobulinemia

9. A 12-year-old girl is brought to the pediatrician by her mother because of a fever. The physician notes that the girl has features of albinism and the mother states that her daughter has always looked the way she does. The physician diagnoses the girl with a staphylococcal infection and prescribes a course of antibiotics. Three months later, the child returns to the pediatrician with another streptococcal infection. The patient’s medical records indicate that she has had repeated bouts of staphylococcal and streptococcal infections for her entire life. This patient most likely has which of the following types of immune deficiency? (A) Chédiak-Higashi disease (B) Chronic granulomatous disease (C) Hyper-IgM syndrome (D) Selective IgA defi ciency (E) Severe combined immunodeficiency

(A) A defect in DNA repair enzymes
(B) A defect in LFA-1 adhesion proteins on
phagocytes

- A 23-year-old woman comes to the physician for a routine checkup. She has generally been well over the past year, although she notes that she has “had a few falls lately.” On physical examination, the lesion shown in the image is found on her skin.

negative reaction to the nitroblue tetrazolium test. The patient’s father wants to know how his son can have both an immunodeficiency disease as well as an autoimmune disease. Deficiencies in which of the following immunologic processes or molecules provides a logical link between this child’s immunodeficiency and his autoimmune gut inflammation?

- A 3-month-old girl is brought to her pediatrician because she has a high fever and cough. The patient is started on an antibiotic regimen. Over the next 24 hours her condition deteriorates and she is brought to the emergency department.
Further history reveals that the child’s birth was complicated by a delayed umbilical
separation. This patient most likely has
which of the following immune defi ciencies?
(A) Chronic granulomatous disease
(B) Leukocyte adhesion defi ciency syndrome
(C) Selective IgA defi ciency
(D) Severe combined immunodefi ciency

He is started on an antibiotic regimen and the infection subsides. Three weeks later, the boy is diagnosed with pruritic papulovesicular dermatitis. Which of the following immune deficiency syndromes would account for this patient’s recurrent
staphylococcal infections and pruritic papulovesicular dermatitis?
