Severe viral infections and primary immunodeficiencies.
Patients with severe viral infections are often not thoroughly evaluated for immunodeficiencies. In this review, we summarize primary immunodeficiencies that predispose individuals to severe viral infections. Some immunodeficiencies enhance susceptibility to disease with a specific virus or family of viruses, whereas others predispose to diseases with multiple viruses in addition to disease wit...
متن کاملRecurrent and Sustained Viral Infections in Primary Immunodeficiencies
Viral infections are commonplace and often innocuous. Nevertheless, within the population of patients with primary immunodeficiencies (PIDDs), viral infections can be the feature that drives a diagnostic evaluation or can be the most significant morbidity for the patient. This review is focused on the viral complications of PIDDs. It will focus on respiratory viruses, the most common type of vi...
متن کاملPrimary immunodeficiencies
Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) are inherited disorders of immune system function [1,2] characterised by absent or low response to infectious agents and a high prevalence of autoimmune manifestations and lymphoproliferative diseases. More than 120 PID in which a molecular defect causes the disease have been identified. The IUIS/WHO Experts Committee published a classification of all PID known ...
متن کاملFrom idiopathic infections of childhood to novel primary immunodeficiencies
t is well known that most ubiquitous microorganisms, harmless in the vast majority of the general population, are pathogenic in children with inherited and acquired immunodeficiency. These children generally suffer from severe infectious diseases caused a variety of microbes, including viruses (e.g. herpes simplex virus), bacteria (e.g. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Mycobacteria) and fungi (e.g....
متن کاملPrimary immunodeficiencies: 2009 update.
More than 50 years after Ogdeon Bruton's discovery of congenital agammaglobulinemia, human primary immunodeficiencies (PIDs) continue to unravel novel molecular and cellular mechanisms that govern development and function of the human immune system. This report provides the updated classification of PIDs that has been compiled by the International Union of Immunological Societies Expert Committ...
