What is the pathogenesis of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinurea?
There RBC are deficient in GP 1 anchor (which is CD 55,59 and usually protects against complement mediated destruction). RBC undergo intravascular hemolysis.
How is PNH diagnosed?
Hamm test (RBC lyse @ low ph)
What lab test is altered in PNH?
Increase urine hemosiderin due to lysis of RBC
What is hemosiderin?
Insoluble iron complex from lysed RBCs
How do you treat PNH?
Iron to replace the loss, warfarin to prevent thrombi, definitive tx is bone marrow transplant to get bone marrow stem cell line that has GP 1 anchors
What is erythroblastois fetalis
Maternal antibodies to fetal Rh factor.
When should anti RHd immunoglobin be given?
At 28 weeks, traumatic event, 3 days of delivery
What injection should a woman with erythroblastosis fetalis be given to prevent RHd antibodies.
RHD immunoglobin binds up any foreign Rhd ab from fetus
What are clinical features of a baby under Rh attack from mom?
Hemolytic Anemia, jaundice, kenicterus, fetal death, hydrops fetalis (HIJK)
What diseases is ESR helpful for ?
Polymyalgia rheumatica, temporal arteritis, disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis, osteomyletis
Young child with tetany and candidias, hyocalcemia and immunosuppresion…what cell is deficient, and what is syndrome?
Tcell, DiGeorge
Young child with recurrent lung infections and granulomatous lesions?
CGD due to NADPH oxidase deficiency. This is where phagocytes need to have oxygen radicals to kill cells. They get granulomatous lesions because they always have tons of neutrophils around in little active infections that can not be eliminated. These neutrophils are impotent.
2 yo child with multiple viral and fungal infections and hypocalcemic (DiGeorge Syndrome). Which of the 3 types of germ cells give rise to the missing structure?
Endoderm
Child with immune disorder and repeated staph abscesses. It is found that phagocytes fail to respond to chemotaxic stimuli. What syndrome does he have?
Job Syndrome
What disorder is associated with high IgE?
Job syndrome
Which complement, interleukin, and leukotriene is responsible for neutrophil chemotaxis?
C3a
IL-8
Leukotriene B4
Why do people with Job Syndrome have cold staph absecesses?
Their neutorphils are not causing inflammation
Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia- What is the inheritance?
X-linked (boys only) XLA
Be Wise Fools Gold Heeds False Hope
Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia- What gene is defective and what does this result in?
Tyrosine kinase gene, low levels of all classes of immunoglobins.
Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia: When is the disease first noticed.
After 6 months (when maternal antibodies wear off)
In DiGeorge Syndrome, what embryonic structure fails to develop?
3rd and 4th pharyngeal pouch. Think “trimic” aplasias
DiGeorge: What infections are they prone to?
Viral/fungal/protozoal
What deletion is associated with DiGeorge Syndrome?
22q11
SKID: a deficiency in what enzyme?
Adenosine Deaminase
Immune deficiency with ↓ production B cells
Bruton’s
Immune deficiency with ↓ production of T cells
DiGeorge
Immune deficiency with ↓ production of B and T
SCID
Immune deficiency with ↓ activation of B Cells
Hyper IgM, Wiskott Aldrich
