SLE
women of childbearing age

connective tissue disorder affecting Blood, Joints, Skin, Kidneys, Heart, and Lungs

Blood - autoimmune hemolytic anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia

Lymphatic - painful lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly

Joints - small joint inflammation (hands) without deformity

Skin - immunocomplexes along basement membrane - Malar butterfly rash

Kidney - diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis

Cardiac - Fibrinous pericarditis with effusion, Libman-Sacks endocarditis (sterile vegetations on mitral valve)

Respiratory - Interstital fibrosis, pleural effusion with friction rub

can cause complete heart block (anti-rho) and spontaneous abortion (antiphospholipid syndrome)
Systemic Scleroderma
women childbearing age

Excessive production of collagen

SKIN

GI - dysphagia SOLIDS + Liquids (lower 2/3)
- Loss of villi MALABSORPTION
- wide mouthed diverticuli

LUNGS
- interstitial fibrosis
RESPIRATORY FAILURE (most common cause of death)

RENAL - vasculitis involving arterioloes (hyperplastic arteriosclerosis)
- infarction + malignant hypertension


ANTI - TOPOISOMERASE
Dermatomyositis + Polymyositis
(skin involvment) - DM

Women 40 - 60, increased risk for malg. cancer esp. lung

Antibody mediated damage (DM)
T cell mediated damage (PM)

Muscle pain + atrophy (shoulders)

Raccoon eyes (purple discoloration)

Increased Creatine Kinase
MCTD
like others but renal involvment uncommon

Anti - RNP
General characteristics for B Cell, T cell deficiency
T (T-IN) - intracellular infections (fungi, parasites, viruses)
B Cell deficiencys
cant deal with encapsulated bacteria (s. pneumo)

1) Bruton's agammaglobulinemia
2) IgA deficiency
3) Common variable immunodeficiency
Bruton's agammaglobulinemia
-X-linked Recessive
-Tyrosine kinase mutation
-FAILURE OF MATURATION FROM PRE-B to Mature B Cells

-recurrent sinus/pulmonary infections
-appears after 6 months (maternal ABs)
- overall decreased immunoglobulins
IgA deficiency
FAILURE IGA B CELLS -> mature PLASMA CELLS

Sinus/pulm. infections - GIARDIASIS

-ANAPHYLAXIS IF EXPOSED TO BLOOD PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN IgA

decreased IgA and secretory IgA
Common variable immunodeficiency
defect in B cell --> plasma cell maturation
Adult immunodef. disorder

Sinopulm, GI infxn (GIARDIA), pneumonia, Autoimmune disease
decrease overall immunoglobulin
T Cell deficiency
-recurrent intracellular (viruses, fungi, protozoa)

1) DiGeorge's Syndrome
DiGeorge's
Failure of 3rd and 4th pharyngeal puches to develop - NO THYMUS OR PARATHYROIDS

hypoparathyroidism = TETANTY
no thymus shadow
Pneumocystis jarici infxn

increase risk for GVH
Combined B + T Cell Disorders
1) SCID
2) Wiskott - Aldrich syndrome
3) Ataxia- telangiectasia
SCID
Severe combined immunodeficiency

Autosomal recessive

buildup of adenine that is toxc to B + T cells due to ADENOSINE DEAMINASE deficiency, decreased deoxynucleoside triphosphate precurosrs for DNA synthesis

fucked up CMI
decreasd immunoglobulins
Wiskott- Aldrich
X-linked recessive

Progessive loss of T + B cells

Triad:
1) eczema
2) thrombocytopenia
3) sinopulmonary infxns

inc risk for malignant lymphoma

Ataxia - telangectasia
Autosomal recessive
Mutations in dna repair + thymic hyoplasia
cerebella ataxia, telangtasia of eyes and skin
risk of lymphoma + leukemia

increase A-Fetalprotein
