Impulse oscillometry identifies peripheral airway dysfunction in children with adenosine deaminase deficiency
Adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) is characterized by impaired T-, B- and NK-cell function. Affected children, in addition to early onset of infections, manifest non-immunologic symptoms including pulmonary dysfunction likely attributable to elevated systemic adenosine levels. Lung disease assessment has primarily employed repetitive radiography and effor...
متن کاملAccuracy of Impulse Oscillometry in Airway Dysfunction
Background: The purpose of this study was to calculate and compare the specificity and sensitivity of impulse oscillometry (IOS) as a new technique in the detection of airways dysfunction by means of a simple pulmonary function test in chemical warfare injured cases suffering from respiratory diseases. Methods: The study was performed prospectively in 100 patients, who complained of dyspnea as ...

متن کاملAnimal model for immune dysfunction associated with adenosine deaminase deficiency.
An in vivo murine model for immunodeficiency of both B and T cells is produced by continuous intraperitoneal infusion of 2'-deoxycoformycin (DCF), a specific tightly binding inhibitor of adenosine deaminase (ADase; adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4). After DCF infusion, ADase of thymus, spleen, and lymph nodes was inhibited to varying degrees ranging from 57% to 100%. Immunodeficiency under ...
متن کاملNeutropenia in patients with adenosine deaminase deficiency
Background Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency is a disorder where the accumulation of purine metabolites, which are particularly toxic to lymphocytes, can lead to severe, life threatening infections. In addition, ADA deficiency also affects other tissues. Few reports describe the presence of neutropenia in these patients, primarily in older patients after hematopoietic stem cell transplantati...
