irradiate the blood

43
Q

phagocytic

48
Q

severe infections (blood, bone, lung) skin infections, lymphadenitis, and abscesses are what type of deficiency?

A

phagocytic

49
Q

What complement is deficient in recurrent bacterial infections?

A

C3

50
Q

What complement components (besides the whole damn thing) are really important in Neisseria?

A

C5-8

51
Q

If you suspect immunodef, what is the first lab you should order?

A

CBC with diff

52
Q

Chediak-Higashi presents with (blank) granules

A

azurophilic

53
Q

A bilobed neutrophil nucleus is telltale of (blank)

A

specific granule deficiency

54
Q

Do you see increased or decreased neutrophils with LAD?

A

increased

55
Q

What three things should you consider with neutropenia?

A
  1. congenital absence
  2. autoantibody
  3. cyclical neutropenia
56
Q

If WBC count is super high, what could it suggest besides an infection?

A

error in diapedesis and cellular adhesion

57

A

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS)

58
Q

Autoimmune hemolytic anemia and G6PD deficiencies are associated with what cell type?

A

RBCs

59
Q

If you see severe lymphopenia, what should you consider?

A

SCID

60
Q

What lab tests the function of the complement system? How do you interpret it?

A

CH50 and AH50; anything but 0 is good

61

CD receptor family

73

74
Q

What CD’s are involved in T-cell disroders?

T cell excision circles to determine if T-cells are leaving the thymus

A

diGeorge 22q11, via FISH; t-cell deficiency

The Sailboat sign on CXR indicates the presence of the:

A

thymus

81

If a kid doesnt have a thymus then he will have a (blank) cell deficiency

A

T-cell

82
Q

CD11/18 flow cytometry can be used to determine problems with what cell?

A

phagocytes

83
Q

What are the conditions to diagnose cyclical neutropenia?

A

3 week interval of symptoms with 6 day serial counts

84
Q

What are some of the symptoms of cyclical neutropenia?
