Immunodeficiency DisordersImmunodeficiency disorders
associated with: Defect or impairment in immune function.
OR Induced through infections and various
environmental factors.

Immunodeficiency Diseases
Primary: Usually congenital, resulting from genetic defects in some components of the immune system.
Secondary (Acquired): as a result of other diseases or conditions such as:
»HIV infection
»malnutrition
»immunosuppression

Primary Immunodeficiency Diseasesoccur when there is a defect
in any one of the many steps
during lymphocyte development

Primary B Cell Immunodeficiency Common variable immunodeficiency
associated withMature B cells failure to differentiation into mature plasma secreting cells (antibody forming cells).
![Page 10: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
X-linked Agammaglobulinaemia (XLA)/Bruton’s Disease:
Deficiency of B cell tyrosine kinase causing failure in the development of pre-B cell maturation to B cells.
Majority of XLA patients show:Profound hypogammaglobulinaemia involving
all immunoglobulin classes with <1% B cells in normal peripheral blood.
![Page 11: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

![Page 12: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Selective IgA deficiency (IgA D)
Patients with IgA deficiency have: IgA levels < 5mg/dL with normal levels of other Igs
and 50% have chronic otitis, sinusitis or pneumonia.
IgA committed B lymphocytes:Fail to mature into IgA-secreting plasma cells caused
by intrinsic B cell defect.
![Page 13: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 15: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
SCID manifests early with: Persistent and recurrent diarrhoea, otitis, thrush and respiratory infections in the first few months of life.
T cell defects associated with:Candidiasis, CMV infection, measles and
varicella leading to life threatening pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis.
SCID managed through Ig infusion, stem cell transplantation and gene replacement.

cy Syndrome/AIDS
![Page 22: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What is HIV/AIDS?HIV stands for:
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)
AIDS stands for:
Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS)
22
![Page 23: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
What is HIV/AIDS?AIDS is caused by the HIV (virus).16,000 HIV viruses can fit on a pinhead.• Viruses multiply inside body cells & cause
illness.• Other viruses which cause illness in humans:
– common cold– polio – measles– hepatitis – SARS
23
![Page 24: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The immune system army
24
![Page 25: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
What is the immune system?
The immune system is the body’s defense system
Uses white blood cells & special proteins to fight foreign organisms
Is controlled by specialized white blood cells called T- lymphocytes (CD4 cells).
Proteins called antibodies are manufactured against specific organisms
25
![Page 26: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How does HIV affect the immune system?
HIV specifically attacks the CD4 cells
The HIV antibodies produced by the immune system are unable to overcome the infection.
Over time, HIV progressively weakens the immune system.
The person becomes “immunodeficient”
A weak immune system can no longer effectively defend the body.
26
![Page 27: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
What happens when the immune system is weakened?
• The body becomes vulnerable to a variety of
infections & cancers.
• Infections that take advantage of a weakened
immune system are “opportunistic infections”.
• Eventually the immune system is so weak that
the body is overwhelmed by infections and/or
cancers, and the person dies.
27
![Page 28: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
What is AIDS?Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
A “syndrome” is a group of symptoms & signs associated with the same underlying condition.
The variety of opportunistic infections & cancers cause a variety of symptoms & signs.
This group of illnesses with their symptoms & signs makes up the syndrome “AIDS”.
28
![Page 29: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What is the difference between “having HIV” and “having AIDS” ? • When the HIV virus enters the body, the
person “has HIV”.• HIV is diagnosed by a blood test.
• When the immune system is severely weakened by HIV, resulting in severe opportunistic infections, the person “has AIDS”.
• There are specific criteria for diagnosing AIDS.

Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)
HIV-1 predominantly found in East, Central,
South Africa and other parts of the world
HIV-2 reported mainly in W. Africa.

40.3 million infected people,
4.1 million death 4.5 million new cases/ year. 14,000 new infections/ day (UNAIDS 2006 )
![Page 32: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

Pathogenesis of HIV
It is RNA virus, in the group of lenti virus.
Subfamily of retrovirus. Two major forms of HIV. Primary targets CD4+T lymphocytes. Monocytes and macrophages also
support viral replication.
![Page 34: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

HIV Tropism Penetration of host plasma membrane results into virion.
Reverse transcriptase and integrase molecules attached to viral RNA is important.
Reverse transcriptase synthesizes DNA copies of RNA. Integrase catalyses their insertion into the host DNA chromosome in the nucleus.
![Page 36: Immunodeficiency disorders,2010](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546608feb4af9f3a3f8b51d1/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

Casual contact
Food, air, water
Vectors-Coughing, sneezing, spitting.
Shaking hands, touching, dry kissing or hugging.
Swimming pools, toilets, etc.

Sources of infectious material All body fluids & tissues are infectious
The virus has been isolated from various body
fluids, particularly blood, CSF, pleural, peritoneal, semen, saliva, breast milk, synovial and vaginal fluids, tear.
Body organ :spread through transplantation. Urine, faeces: rare causes of spread to staff.

Immunopathological Mechanisms of HIV infection
HIV infected patients progress to AIDS disease in three phases:
Early phase: lasts about 2 weeks accompanied by: Fever, aches and flue-like symptoms with high levels of virus in
blood.
Middle phase: lasting months or several years (latent) with:
Anti-HIV antibodies Continuous depletion of CD4 T cells
Late phase (AIDS): characterized by:
Rapid decline in CD4 T cells,
Opportunistic infections including viral (herpes simplex, herpes varicella
zoster, EBV), bacterial (M. tuberculosis), fungi (Candida-thrush) and
protozoan (Microsporidia) .
Cancers (lymphoma; Kaposi’s sarcoma).
