SCID Flashcards
What other non-infectoius complications might accomany SCID?
autoimmunity, allergy and malignancies
What are some extracellular pathogens?
S.aureus s. pyognes (pneumoniae), E.coli and mycoplasma
What dysfuncitions in immune sytem are associated with catalsae positive organisms?
neutrophil defects e.g. CGD.
What are intracellular infections mostly associated with
Salmonella typhi, listeria, mycobacteria, viruses and fungi.
What are some encapsulated organisms?
penumococcuse and meningococcus
Which PIDs associated with extracellular bacteria?
particularly resp tact infections- antibody deficiency
But also CID, phagocytic defects and complement defects
What PIDs associated with mycobacterial infections?
CID and phagocytic only.
What PIDs are associated with broad viral infections and enteroviruses?
broad (espeically RSV)= CID
enteroviruses= antibody deficiency.
What PIDs are associated with fungal infections?
broad range (+histoplasmosis and cryptococcus) = CID aspergillus and candida= phagocytosis
What PIDs associated with protozoal infections?
braod range (cryptosporidium and pneumocystis jirovecci = CID
Giardia= antibody deficiency
What vaccine can cause gastroenteritis in neonates with undiagnosed PID?
rotavirus vaccine.
What number of T cells is typical SCID?
<300 T cells per 1ul blood.
What number of T cells can be seen in leaky SCID?
> 300 T cell per 1ul blood.
What is an example of leaky SCID and what are symptoms?
Omens syndrome (hypomorphic mutations within RAG1/2) erythroderma (eczema like), lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly,
Immunologoical features of Omenns syndrome?
T- B- NK+
oligonal T cells with restricted TCR repertoire and often autroeactive,
High IgE and eosinophilia.
