77
Q

chronic granulomatous disease has what deficiency?

A

NADPH oxidase

78
Q

function of NADPH oxidase?

A

uses oxygen to make superoxide free radicals to kill pathogens in respiratory burst

79
Q

patients with CPG are susceptible to which type of organism?

A

catalase positive

80
Q

staph aureus, e coli, b cepacia and aspergillos are cat + or -?

A

+

81
Q

what happens when someone with CGD is infected wiht a catalase + organism?

A

the organism uses catalase to break down ROS before the host immune system can use it –they can survive and cause severe infections

82
Q

most common infection in CGD?

A

staph aureus

83
Q

inheritance of CGD?

A

x linked recessive

84
Q

what is a dihydrorhodamine test?

A
  • used to diagnose CGD
  • there will be no flurescence due to decreased superoxide and hydrogen peroxide which would oxidize a substance to be fluorescent
85
Q

what is the nitroblue tetrazoleum test?

A

-nitroblue turns from yellow to blue in the presence of ROS. In CGD, it stays yellow

86
Q

inheritance of IPEX?

A

x linked

87
Q

mutation in IPEX?

A

loss of function of FOXP3, resulting in impaired development and function of regulatory t cells

88
Q

presentation of IPEX

A

immunodeficiency with recurrent infections, autoimmune enteropathy, endocrinopathy and dermatitis

89
Q

common skin findings of IPEX

A

eczema

90
Q

GI presentation of IPEX?

diabetes and thyroiditis

92
Q

wiskott-aldrich syndrome inheritance?

A

x linked

93
Q

wiskott-aldrich syndrome - which gene is mutated?

A

WAS - leads to problems with cytoskeleton - defective t cell signalling and interactions with APCs - impairs chemotaxis and phagocytosis

94
