Home Search Sitemap Contact ... Publications Primary Immunodeficiency C O N T E N T S Introduction What is Primary Immunodeficiency? The Immune Defenses Genes and PI ... Glossary I N T R O D U C T I O N M There are over 70 different types of PIs. Each type has somewhat different symptoms, depending on which parts of the immune defense system are deficient. Some deficiencies are deadly, while some are mild. But they all have one thing in common: they may open the door to multiple infections. In the more severe forms of PI, germs which cause only mild infections in people with healthy immune systems may cause severe or life-threatening infections. Although infections are the hallmark of PIs, they are not always the only health problem, or even the main one. Some PIs are associated with other immune system disorders, such as anemia, arthritis, or autoimmune diseases. Other PIs involve more than the immune system; some, for instance, are associated with symptoms involving the heart, digestive tract, or the nervous system. Some PIs retard growth and increase the risk of cancer. Today, thanks to rapid advances in medicine, many PI diseases can be successfully treated or even cured. With proper treatment, most people with PIs are not only surviving once-deadly diseases, they are usually able to lead normal lives. Children usually can go to school, mix with playmates, and take part in sports. Most adults with PI are leading productive lives in their communities.

42. Severe Combined Immunodeficiency There are many other immune deficiencies that may result in recurrent infections, but some children are born with an incomplete, or deficient, immune system. http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/allergies/severe_immunodeficiency.html

KidsHealth Parents Medical Problems In the time following birth, newborns are protected by immunity transmitted to them by their mothers. Within the next few months, though, their immune systems develop and begin to assume responsibility for fighting off infections. But it doesn't take long to determine that a few babies don't have the ability to fight off routine infections on their own. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare immune deficiency. There are many other immune deficiencies that may result in recurrent infections, but some children are born with an incomplete, or deficient, immune system. The symptoms of immune deficiency depend on what part of the immune system is affected and can range from mild to life-threatening. SCID is a primary immune deficiency that can be successfully treated if it's identified early. Otherwise, it's often fatal within the first year. What Is SCID? SCID is actually a group of inherited disorders characterized by a lack of immune response. It occurs when a child lacks lymphocytes

Current Trends Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS): Precautions for Clinical and Laboratory Staffs The etiology of the underlying immune deficiencies seen in AIDS cases is unknown. One hypothesis consistent with current observations is that a transmissible agent may be involved. If so, transmission of the agent would appear most commonly to require intimate, direct contact involving mucosal surfaces, such as sexual contact among homosexual males, or through parenteral spread, such as occurs among intravenous drug abusers and possibly hemophilia patients using Factor VIII products. Airborne spread and interpersonal spread through casual contact do not seem likely. These patterns resemble the distribution of disease and modes of spread of hepatitis B virus, and hepatitis B virus infections occur very frequently among AIDS cases. The precautions that follow are advised for persons and specimens from persons with: opportunistic infections that are not associated with underlying immunosuppressive disease or therapy; Kaposi's sarcoma (patients under 60 years of age); chronic generalized lymphadenopathy, unexplained weight loss and/or prolonged unexplained fever in persons who belong to groups with apparently increased risks of AIDS (homosexual males, intravenous drug abusers, Haitian entrants, hemophiliacs); and possible AIDS (hospitalized for evaluation). Hospitals and laboratories should adapt the following suggested precautions to their individual circumstances; these recommendations are not meant to restrict hospitals from implementing additional precautions.

Preserving one's intestinal integrity and function is critical to maintaining or gaining weight and protecting against infection. Glutamine has been shown to play an important role in the nutritional management of patients with HIV and AIDS. HIV is known to grow in the cells that line the small intestine - especially in the lower part (the ileum). Functional loss of the ileum results in poor absorption of many nutrients. Tests among people with AIDS demonstrate lower levels of vitamins, bile acids and essential lipids in their bodies. When absorption of essential nutrients is poor, immunity is lowered, allowing bacteria and pathogens to invade the intestinal cells and cause irritation, malabsorption and diarrhea.

People with PIDD are unable to fight off bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and malignant cells, which can lead to frequent infections that are difficult to fight and to an increased incidence of cancer. The condition can go undetected because the symptoms appear as "ordinary" infections of the sinuses, ears, or lungs, or as gastrointestinal problems or inflammation of the joints. As a result, families and physicians are often unaware that the troubling conditions they see in the child are actually caused by an underlying defect of the immune system.

Primary immune deficiency diseases are disorders in which part of the body's immune system is missing or does not function properly. In contrast to secondary immune deficiency disease in which the immune system is compromised by factors outside the immune system, such as with certain medications like chemotherapy or viruses, the primary immune deficiency diseases are caused by genetic or intrinsic defects in the immune system. There are a wide variety of primary immune deficiencies. There are nearly 100 primary immune deficiency diseases including X-linked Agammaglobulinemia (Bruton's Disease), Common Variable Immune Deficiency (also called Hypogammaglobulinemia), Selective IgA Deficiency, and Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (boy-in-the-bubble disease). Some disorders, such as Selective IgA Deficiency can be quite common, occurring as often as 1/400 individuals. While others, such as Severe Combined Immune Deficiency, can be as rare as one in a million. Untreated primary immune deficiencies may be characterized by frequent life-threatening or chronic infections and debilitating illnesses.

There are multiple lines of defense, to contend with various assaults, as well as back-up systems if needed when others fail. The biggest defender of the human body is the Immune System, made of multiple components. The immune system was a little known system, to most, until the movie about the "boy in the bubble" and the discovery of AIDS. The immune system is made up of many components. There are the many "immunoglobulins" who have letter and number designations, such as IgA, IgE, IgG and IgM. Among those are the sub categories. The T cells, as many are now familiar with due to the prevalence of AIDS during the 80's and 90's. The T cells have helper cells. They also have sub categories, the main ones being CD-4 and CD-8. Other cells that make up the Immune System are Complement cells and B cells. All these different cells play different roles in keeping us healthy. The T and T helper cells are the ones that tell our body how to respond to different germs or insults, so that the correct white blood cells are produced to combat the attack. They also help with antibody formation. Antibodies are what keep you from getting the flu or a childhood disease more than once. Antibodies are formed when you get the shots to prevent an illness.

WASP Website navigation : home PARTICULAR BIOLOGY Superkingdom Viruses Structure and classification ... Immune Deficiency Disease Secondary immune deficiencies Previously healthy individuals who develop certain illnesses or undergo surgery or drug therapy may develop impaired immune systems. Trauma from severe burns or alcoholism that damages the liver can result in immune deficiency. Drugs used to suppress the immune system such as corticosteroids, those used before an organ transplantation, or radiation therapy, may also hurt the immune system. Infections that cause immune deficiency include acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). AIDS causes a progressive depletion of T lymphocytes so that there are not enough to fight infections. Low T-lymphocyte levels also make the body vulnerable to a host of infections that would not develop in a person with a healthy immune system. These opportunistic infections include Pneumocystis carinii, a type of pneumonia, toxoplasmosis, and fungal infections.

Primary immunodeficiency diseases-little-known immune system disorders caused by genetic flaws-appear less often among members of minority groups in the United States than among non-minorities. Scientists suspect that difference may be due to under-diagnosis of those disorders in minority populations. Why so few cases are discovered among minorities remains unclear, but now a three-year, $1.3 million study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) could help doctors and nurses spot and treat primary immunodeficiency diseases earlier among African Americans, Hispanics and other ethnic populations. Immunologist Charlotte Cunningham-Rundles, M.D., Ph.D., will direct the new study at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City. She and a team of computer scientists, statisticians, nurses and heath educators will develop a computer-assisted method to screen patients for primary immunodeficiency diseases as well as educational materials for health care workers serving minority populations.

EBV and Cellular Immune Deficiencies EBV serology Testing Observations Comments to Vinnie the Webmaster Cellular Immune Deficiencies as the Underlying Cause of Elevated Epstein-Barr Virus Antibody Titers in EBV-Associated Illnesses. I became interested in EBV while working in the lab where I am employed. EBV has been associated with many illnesses including chronic fatigue syndrome (which has been pretty much disproved at this time). I feel that the presence of elevated levels of EBV antibodies may be used as markers for other illnesses in individuals that have cellular immune deficiencies. I am interested in your response. Click here for my e-mail. Cellular Immune Deficiencies as the Underlying Causeof Elevated of Elevated Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Antibody Titers in EBV-Associated Illnesses. Vincent Forte A Thesis in the Field of Biology for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies Harvard University November 1990 The text presented here is in a summary form. Abstract Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is indigenous to all environments, infecting most of the human population. Its presence is easily demonstrated by serological tests. Primary infection with EBV results in infectious mononucleosis. However, increased levels of IgG antibodies to viral antigens are associated with several chronic illnesses, such as carcinomas and autoimmune disorders. This thesis proposes a test to distinguish whether EBV infection is a cause of these illnesses, or simply an associated marker. It is proposed that cellular immune deficiencies, involving decreased cytotoxic/suppressor

Topic Area: Allergies Forum: The Respiratory Disorders Forum Question Posted By: starion on Wednesday, November 27, 2002 Dear LungLine Nurse, Aloha, Starion Answer Posted By: NJC-R.N.-DC on Monday, December 02, 2002 It is a reasonable approach to determine the immune function of your son. The studies you have mentioned are the basic studies that can be performed to start the process. They can be performed unrelated to eating. Basically you are determining the function of the immune system. The areas of response in the immune system include cellular, humoral, and white blood cell. Delayed hypersensitivity skin testing and certain blood tests can assess the cellular response. Measuring the amount of antibodies and their response to infections can assess the humoral response. The white blood cell response can be assessed by the amount of cells and their function. Not all of these tests will be done at once. I would speak to your allergist to determine her skills in measuring immune function before deciding to seek further specialist care.

Search for Reports: Primary Immune Deficiencies - An Overview Published by Datamonitor Oct. 21, 2002 - 32 Pages Table of Contents Overview Introduction Primary immune deficiencies are inborn genetic defects in the immune system. It is estimated that at least half a million people worldwide suffer from at least one of these disorders. These patients suffer from recurrent and persistent infections. Gene therapy offers the promise of a potential cure, obliterating the need for antibiotic and immunoglobulin therapy and bone marrow transplants. Scope Examines disease etiology, symptoms and treatment options available to patients Looks at the prevalence and diagnosis of some of the more common and defined conditions and discusses the prognosis for these individuals Assesses unmet needs in the treatment of primary immune deficiencies and future opportunities, particularly in the area of gene therapy Report Highlights Prompt administration of antibiotics at the first signs of infection is vital and those with deficient antibody levels require monthly immunogobulin infusions. Bone marrow transplantation has provided complete remission to some suffering from very severe conditions, such as severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), but global success rates over the past thirty years are only between 60-70%. Gene therapy is beginning to show some promise as a viable treatment alternative. The obvious benefit in curing these debilitating illnesses will have to be balanced with the potential risks posed by this new form of treatment. Although entry into the commercial arena is not expected for another few years, the market and growth for gene therapy products will be unprecedented, since application of this technology will have far-reaching implications for a number of other clinical conditions.
