First line of defense
Nonspecific

immunity
• No memory
• Phagocyte- mediated

Activated
Very specific
Slower
Protective immunity
possible
• Memory possible
• Lymphocyte- mediated
Definition
• Any defect in the integrity of the immune
systems
– It may be congenital or late onset
– It may be inherited or non hereditary
– It may be in innate or adaptive parts of immune
system
Components of Immunity
• Skin and mucosal barriers
• Innate immune system (nonspecific)
–Phagocytic cells, NK cells, complement
• Adaptive immune system (specific)
–T and B lymphocytes, antibodies

The 10 Warning Signs Of Primary Immunodeficiency
Eight or more new ear
infections within 1 year.
Recurrent, deep skin or
organ abscesses.
Two or more serious sinus
infections within 1 year.
Persistent thrush in mouth or
elsewhere on skin, after age 1.
Two or more months on
antibiotics with little effect.
Need for intravenous
antibiotics to clear infections.
Two or more pneumonias
within 1 year.
Two or more
deep-seated infections.
Failure of an infant to gain
weight or grow normally.
A family history of
Primary Immunodeficiency.

Complement
Classification of Immunodeficiency
1. Humoral (B-cell) – quantitative or qualitative
defects in antibody production account for more
than 50% of defects.
2. Cellular (T-cell) – usually combined with
humoral; account for 20-30%.
3. Phagocytic – defects in migration, or killing;
account for ~18%.
4. Complement – account for ~2%
About %40 of cases are diagnosed in the first year
Another %40 by age 5 years
Another %15 by age 16
Only %5 in adulthood
About %10 of registered cases are adults
Late-onset Patients exhibit CVID
• Common Risk Factors for Frequent Infections
– Day-care, school
– Second-hand smoke
– Atopy
– Anatomic abnormalities including ciliary
defects
– Retained foreign body
– Gastroesophageal reflue
– Cystic fibrosis
Children referred for evaluation for immuno
deficiency
%50 Turn out to be normal
%30 have allergy
%10 have a serious but
nonimmunologic disorder
Only %10 have an immunodeficiency
Allergic disorders in contrast to
immunodeficiency
Absence fo fever
Clear nonpurulent discharge
Prior history of colic, food intolerance, ezema or other
allergic symptoms
A Positive family history of allergy
A Characteristic seasonal or exposure pattern
Poor respons to antibiotic
Good respons to antihistamines or bronchodilators
Approach for Suspected
Immune Deficiency are as
following:
FAMILY HISTORY
Consanguinity of the parents
History of a sibling dying early in life of
infections
Family history of an X-linked or autosomal
recessive inheritance of a primary
immunodeficiency
GENERAL
• Complete blood count, including hemoglobin,
differential white blood cell count(ALC , ANC)
and morphology, and platelet count,ESR
• Radiographs to document infection in chest,
sinus, mastoids, and long bones, if indicated
by clinical history
• Cultures, if appropriate
History Our Guide
• Predominant B-Cell defects
– Onset after maternal antibodies diminish, usually
after 5-7 mos, later childhood to adulthood.
– Bacteria: strep, staph, H.flu; Campylobacter,
enteroviruses, giardia, cryptosporidia
– Recurrent sinopulmonary infections, chronic GI
symptoms, malabsorption, arthritis, viral
meningoencephalitis
– Autoimmunity, lymphoreticular malignancy;
thymoma, lymphoma
SCREENING TESTS FOR B CELL
IMMUNE FUNCTION
•
•
•
•
•
•
Quantitative serum immunoglobulins
Specific antibodies to vaccine responses
Tetanus, diphtheria (IgG1)
Pneumococcal and meningococcal polysaccharides (IgG2)
Viral respiratory pathogens (IgG1 and IgG3)
Other vaccines: hepatitis B, influenza, MMR, polio (killed
vaccine)
• Isohemagglutinins (IgM antibodies to A and B blood group
• antigens)
• B cell quantitation by flow cytometry
Laboratory Evaluation
• Qualitative Evaluation of Antibodies
– Isohemagglutins – Antibodies to ABO blood-group
determinants
– Antibodies to tetanus and diptheria glycoproteins
and pneumococcal polysaccharides.
• If low titers, give booster, then repeat
titers 4 weeks later.
History Our Guide
• Predominant T-Cell Defects
– Early onset, usually 2-6 mos
– Bacteria, mycobacteria, viruses: CMV, EBV,
varicella; fungi, parasites, PCP, -intracellulare
– FTT, diarrhea, extensive mucocutaneous
candidiasis
– GVHD caused by nonirradiated blood
– Hypocalcemic tetany in infancy(DiGorje)
SCREENING TESTS FOR T CELL
IMMUNITY
• Newborn screening for TREC analysis (not
available in iran)
• Absolute lymphocyte count
• Chest radiograph for thymus shadow in
newborns
• Delayed skin hypersensitivity to recall antigens
• Quantification of T cell subsets
History Our Guide for B and T cell
defficiency
• ATAXIA TELLANGIECTASIA
• SCID
• WISKOTT- ALDERICHE SYNDROME
History Our Guide
• Granulocyte Defects
– Early onset, delayed separation of cord (>8 weeks),
poor wound healing(LAD)
– Bacteria: staph, Pseudomonas, Serratia, Klebsiella;
Fungi: Candida, Nocardia, Aspergillus(CGD)
– Dermatitis, impetigo, cellulitis, abscesses,
lymphadenitis, periodontitis, osteomyelits
History Our Guide
• Complement Defects
– Late (C5-C9) – Neisserial infections: meningitidis,
septic arthritis from gonorrhoeae.
– Early (C1, C4, and C2) – autoimmune disease
– C3 deficiency – overwhelming sepsis, especially
with gram negative organisms
SCREENING TESTS FOR INNATE
DEFENSE FACTORS
• Absolute granulocyte count, cell morphology
• Serum total hemolytic complement for classic pathway
(CH50), alternative pathway hemolytic activity (AH50)
• Nitroblue tetrazolium (NBT) test or flow cytometry
using dihydrorhodamine (DHR) « Staphylococcus
aureus, Serratia marcescens, and Aspergillus”
• Flow cytometry for leukocyte adhesion molecules
(CD11/CD18
• and CD15a)
• IgE (JOB )
B Cell Immunodeficiencies
• Bruton

Bruton’ s (X-linked) Agammaglobulinemia
Autosomal Recessive Hyper-IgM Syndrome
X-linked Lymphoproliferative Syndrome
Transient Hypogammaglobulinemia of Infancy
Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)
Selective IgA Deficiency
IgG Subclass Deficiency
General Management of Patients with
Immunodeficiency
• Avoid transfusions with blood products unless they
•
•
•
•
are irradiated and cytomegalovirus-negative.
Avoid live virus vaccines, especially in patients with
severe T-cell deficiencies or agammaglobulinemia,
and in household members.
Use prophylaxis to Pneumocystis jiroveci (carinii) in
T-cell immunodeficiency, and in X-linked hyperIgM, consider antifungal prophylaxis in T-cell
immunodeficiency.
Follow pulmonary function in patients with
recurrent pneumonia.
Use chest physiotherapy and postural drainage in
patients with recurrent pneumonia.
• Consider using prophylactic antibiotics because
minor infections can quickly disseminate.
• Examine diarrheal stools for Giardia lamblia and
Clostridium difficile.
• Avoid unnecessary exposure to individuals with
infection.
• Boil water for T-cell defects and hyper-IgM
syndrome (Cryptosporidium risk).
• Use immunoglobulin for severe antibody
deficiency states (400–600mg/kg q3–4 wk IV).
• BMT for T cell and Innate defect
When IgG level are normal or near normal but Antibody
deficiency is susceptible
IgG subclasses should be measured (IgG=70%, IgG 2
=20%, IgG3=7%, IgG4=3%)
Antibody function should be measured
In patient with selective IgA deficiency IgG subclasses should
be measured
Many IgA deficiency patients have IgG2 subclass deficiency
In older children and adults , a total Ig
level above 800 mg/ dl with normal
screening antibody test excludes antibody
deficiency
Total Ig (IgG+IgM +IgA )< 400 or IgG level
<200 mg /dl usually indicates antibody
immunodeficiency
