Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type 1 presenting as leukemoid reaction.

چکیده
Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (LAD) is characterized by the inability of leukocytes, in particular neutrophilic granulocytes, to emigrate from the blood stream towards sites of inflammation. Infectious foci are nonpurulent and may eventually become necrotic because of abnormal wound healing. LAD-I is characterized by the absence of the beta-2 integrins CD II and CD 18 on leukocytes. We present a male neonate referred with continuation of leukemoid reaction in spite of antibiotic therapy of simultaneous omphalitis. The diagnosis of LAD-I was confirmed by flow cytometry, showing a deficiency of beta-2 integrins on the surface of the leukocytes. After management, the patient was discharged with prophylactic antibiotics.

Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency Type 1 Presenting as Leukemoid Reaction
The hallmarks of leukocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) are defects in the leukocyte adhesion process, marked leukocytosis and recurrent infections. These molecular and clinical manifestations result from an impaired step in the inflammatory process, namely, the emigration of leukocytes from the blood vessels to sites of infection, which requires adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium. Over las...

Objective: Leukocyte adhesion deficiency(LAD) is a scarce, autosomal recessive inherited disorder . LAD-I which is the most common type occurs due to mutations on the CD18 gene. This mutation leads to absence or severe reduction of leukocyte cell surface expression of ß2 integrin molecules which are necessary for the adhesion of the leukocytes to the endothelial cells, transendothelial mi...
متن کاملClinical profile of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I.
Leukocyte adhesion deficiency type I (LAD-I) is a rare, inherited immunodeficiency with defect in the recruitment of leukocyte to the site of inflammation. Patients with severe LAD-I have absent or markedly reduced expression of CD18 and CD11. Here we report clinical profile of 7 cases of LAD-I diagnosed at our center over a period of 3 years. Recurrent skin and mucous membrane infections wer...

In India, Holstein and its crosses are being used extensively in breeding programmes and all these breeding bulls are screened for autosomal recessive genes. Blood samples are collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) coated tubes and DNA was isolated by using phenol-chloroform method. Polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) wereperformed by using...
