IMMUNODEFICIENCY
DISEASES
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• Types of immunodeficiencies
Primary
secondary
• Classification of primary immunedeficiencies
• Secondary immune deficiencies
• AIDS
• Immunodeficiency deficiency diseases are
conditions where the defense mechanisms of the
body are impaired .
• Deficiencies of defense mechanisms may involve
SPECIFIC IMMUNE FNS – humoral immunity,cell
mediated immunity or both – or NON SPECIFIC
MECHANISMS such as phagocytosis &
complement, which augment and act in
conjunction with specific immune processes .
• Immuno deiciencies
primary immunodeficiencies
secondary immunodeficiencies
Primary ID - results from abnormalities in
the development of immune mechanisms
Secondary ID – are consequences of
disease,drugs,nutritional inadequacies

AGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA• First immunodeficiency disease to have
been recognised .
• Described by BRUTON ( 1952 ) .
• Due to Bruton Tyrosine Kinase
mutation
• Seen only in MALE infants .
• Manifestations not apparent till about 6
months of age .
NAÏVE B CELLS
PLASMA CELLS
IgG,IgM,IgA,IgE
BTK
• Clinical pesentation :
 Recurrent serious infns
(pneumococci,streptococci,meningococci,ps
eudomonas & h.influenzae)
 No tonsils or palpable lymph node
• Avoid Live microbial vaccines
• All classes of immunoglobulins are grossly
depleted in serum .
• IgG level being less than a tenth,IgA and
IgM less than a hundredth of the normal
level .
• Marked decrease in proportion of B cells in
circulation.
• CMI not affected .
• MX : 300mg/kg of gammaglobulin per kg of
bodyweight in 3 doses foll. by monthly injns
of 100mg/kg .
TRANSIENT
HYPOGAMMAGLOBULINEMIA OF
INFANCYDue to abnormal delay in the initiation of IgG
synthesis in some infants .
Presents b/w 6 -12 months of age .
When there is a delay, immunodeficiency occurs .
Recurrent otitis media & respiratory infectios are
common .
Spontaneous recovery occurs b/w 18 & 30 months
of age .
Found in infants of both sexes .
Rx : may be req in some cases, but
prophylactical administration not
recommended .
M = F
COMMON VARIABLE
IMMUNODEFICIENCY
Late onset hypogammaglobulinemia .
Manifests only by 15 – 35 years of age .
Recurrent pyogenic infections and increased incidence of
autoimmune diseases.
Malabsorption and giardiasis are common .
Total immunoglobulin level is less than 300mg/100ml,with IgG <
250mg/100ml .
B cells present in circulation in normal numbers, but they appear
defective in their inability to differentiate into plasma cells and
secrete immunoglobulins.
RX : administration of gammaglobulin preparation

• DEFICIENCIES in humoral and cellular immune responses occur
secondarily during course of many disease processes .
• Secondary immune deficiency is more common than the primary
immune deficiency
• AIDS, Aquired immune deficiency syndrome is
the most common .
• Humoral deficiency  lymphoid malignancy ( CLL )
 nephrotic syndrome
 exfoliative skin disease
 protein losing enteropathioes
 multiple myeloma
• Cellular deficiency  lymphoreticular malignancies
 lymphatic obstruction or lymphorrheas
 lepromatous leprosy
 measles
AIDS
• HIV 1
• Infects helper T cells (TH ) cells
• Normal count – 1200/mm³
• Aids - < 200/mm³ of blood
• Monocytes also get infected .
