Immune Disorders

Infant w/ delayed umbilical cord separation and recurrent infections
Disease?
Missing Protein?
WBC count?

LAD-1
LFA-1 - defective diapedesis
high WBC's, just can't get to infection

Pt with Albinism
Name Disease
Describe defective mechanism

Chediak-Higashi
Abnormally large granules, can't fuse lysosome with phagosome
can't kill microbes --> defective granules

Pt with a negative NBT reduction test
Name disease
Defective Enzyme
Describe issue

Chronic Granulomatous Disease
NADPH oxidase
defective oBoyxidative burst in neutrophils, so macrophages form granulomas to compensate

Infant with thrush and diaper rash
Name?
Treatment?
Which cells are depleted?
Most common mutations?

SCID
treat with BMT
T and B cell depletion
IL-2 receptor mutation (X-linked) or ADA deficiency (AR)

Infant with no tonsils or palpable lymph nodes, normal T cell count, recurrent infections
Name?
Inheritance Pattern?
Problem?
Treatment?

Bruton's Agamaglobulin
Boys (X-linked)
B cells can't mature --> can't rearrange light chains
Ig replacement, good prognosis
