mostly due to defect in cytokyne receptors (IL-7 receptor) leading to poor lymphoid tissue formation
SCID
in this disease, get herpes simplex virus infection
SCID
in this disease, get varicella superinfected with bacteria
SCID
in this disease, get pneumocystis carinii pneumonia
C2 deficiency
most common complement deficiency
more common in Europeans, Caucasians
C2 deficiency
50% homozygotes develop SLE-like disease
C1-C4 deficiency
this type of primary complement deficiency disorder has
clinical features: infectious and autoimmune disorders
lab findings: decreased complement activity, absent specific component
pathogens: encapsulated bacteria, strep pneumoniae, H. influenze
C5-C9 deficiency
this type of primary complement deficiency disorder has
clinical features: severe Neisseria infections
lab findings: absent specific components; decreased complement activity
pathogens: N meningitidis, disseminated gonococcal infection
Properdin
this type of primary complement deficiency disorder has:
clinical features: meningococcal meningitis
lab findings: abnormal alternative pathway
pathogen: N. meningitidis
C1 inhibitor deficiency, hereditary angioedema
in this complement deficiency, complement cascade proceeds unchecked
C1 inhibitor deficiency, hereditary angioedema
in this complement deficiency, mast cells degranulate-vessels leak=edema
C1 inhibitor
this blocks enzymes responsible for activating various systems
blocks Hagemann Factor (F-XII), a coagulation factor
blocks Kallikrein, acute response, inflammation factor
blocks plasmin that's used to make fibrinogen

one factor: multiple different functions
Hereditary angioedema, C1 Inhibitor Deficiency
Minor trauma, maybe even just cold weather or minor scratch, something trivial, coagulation pathway and other pathways get activated, activate Hageman factor, start coagulation and complement pathways, get C3a and C5a causing mast cells to degranulate

minor trauma, infection, tissue damage--> activated Hageman factor--> plasminogen to plasmin--> activated C1--> complement cascade (anaphylotoxins)
hereditary angioneurotic edema, C1 inhibitor deficiency
little scratch causes hand to puff up
hereditary angioneurotic edema, C1 inhibitor deficiency
swollen face, eyes swollen shut. if trauma back of throat, around larynx, in trachea, will swell right up, people die of asphyxiation
most of the time will subside, not quickly, over hours and day or 2, not permanent
chronic inflammatory diseases that induce specific T-cell defect
TB, leprosy, sarcoidosis, measles
naturally occurring secondary immunodeficiencies: humoral immunity affected
type of immunodeficiency that involves B cell neoplasms, B cell lymphomas and plasmacytoma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia
naturally occurring secondary immunodeficiencies: cellular immunity affected
type of immunodeficiency that involves Hodgkin's disease, thymoma and other T cell tumors, TB, sarcoidosis, leprosy, measles
naturally occurring secondary immunodeficiency: combined cellular and humoral immunity affected
type of immunodeficiency associated with AIDS aging
naturally occuring secondary immunodeficiency
type of immunodeficiency associated with AIDS
lymphoma
replaces normal lymphoid elements
pre-chemotherapy
lot of myeloid elements, dark cells, lot of progenitor cells
post-chemotherapy
can't see any hematopoietic elements, even at higher power. few residual red cell elements hanging around. no immune system for weeks/months
HIV
virus that has highest mutation rate normally of any element
HIV
Long terminal repeat makes virus so insidious
When turn it on? When start making virus?
If T-cell sees antigen in right context, signal tells virus to start replication.
When need elements of immune system and call them up, that’s what turns virus on and causes it to replicate
NFKB, etc. bind to LTR, start making virus.
Long Terminal Repeat (LTR)
contains control regions that bind host transcription factors (NF-KB, NFAT, Sp1, TBP)
Long Terminal Repeat (LTR)
required for initiation of transcription
Long Terminal Repeat (LTR)
contains RNA trans-acting response element (TAR) that binds Tat
HIV insidiousness
protein that promotes virus assembly at cell surface, RNA binding protein, virion binding, overcomes inhibitory effect of unidentified host factor promoting cell-free viral transmission, promotes CD4 degradation and influences virion release, chemokine receptor binding, fusion, downregulation of surface CD4 and MHC I expression, blocks apoptosis, virion infectivity enhanced, enhances RNA Pol II-mediated elongation of integrated viral DNA, promotes nuclear export of incompletely spliced viral RNAs, G2 cycle arrest, HIV infection of macrophages, viral enzymes encoded
viremia in HIV
causes headache, swollen lymph nodes, people think it's just bad cold
AIDS
primary infection in blood, mucosa
infects CD4+ T cell and dendritic cell
drainage to lymph nodes, spleen
infection established in lymphoid tissue, eg lymph node
acute HIV syndrome, spread of infection thruout body, viremia
immune response, anti-HIV Ab, HIV-specific CTLs
partial control of viral replication
clinical latency, latent infection/provirus, low-level infection
other microbial infections: cytokines (TNF)
extensive viral replication and CD4+ cell lysis
destruction of lymphoid tissue: depletion of CD4+ T cells
HIV
gp120 on virus binding to CD4 on cell, conformational change, gp120/CD4 bind CCR-5(chemokine receptor), gp41 on virus penetrates cell membrane, membrane fusion, HIV RNA genome into cell, RT-mediated synthesis of proviral DNA, integration of provirus into host cell genome, HIV RNA transcript, synthesis of HIV proteins, assembly of virion core structure, budding and release of mature virion

cytokine activation of cell/transcription of HIV genome/transport of viral RNAs to cytoplasm
cytopathic effect of HIV
chronic T cell activation-->viral replication in infected CD4+ T cells--> death of infected cells
apoptosis by HIV
chronic T cell activation-->activation of uninfected CD4+ T cells-->activation-induced cell death
killing of infected cells by virus-specific CTLs by HIV
chronic T cell activation-->Expression of HIV peptides on infected CD3+ T cells-->CTL
HIV infection to AIDS
possible acute HIV syndrome, wide dissemination fo virus, seeding of lymphoid organs-->clinical latency-->constitutional symptoms-->opportunistic diseases-->death
HIV infection to AIDS
viral particles in plasma, then CTLs specific for HIV peptides, then anti-envelope Ab then anti-p24 Ab

Karposi's
not everyone with HHV8 has this, but everyone with this disease has HHV8
synergy HHV8 and HIV, spindle cells (HIV infected), synergize and cause massive lesions
