Questions and Answers

What is the definition of immunodeficiency?

  • Impairment in function of part or parts of the nervous system that renders the patient more susceptible to infectious diseases
  • Impairment in function of part or parts of the immune system that renders the patient more susceptible to infectious diseases (correct)
  • Impairment in function of part or parts of the circulatory system that renders the patient more susceptible to infectious diseases
  • Impairment in function of part or parts of the digestive system that renders the patient more susceptible to infectious diseases
  • What are the two broad categories of immunodeficiency?

  • Congenital and developmental
  • Acute and chronic
  • Primary and secondary (correct)
  • Inherited and acquired
  • What distinguishes primary immunodeficiency from secondary immunodeficiency?

  • Primary immunodeficiency is acquired, while secondary immunodeficiency is inherited.
  • Primary immunodeficiency is due to a mutation in a gene encoding a molecule of the immune system, while secondary immunodeficiency occurs in an adult animal due to various factors. (correct)
  • Primary immunodeficiency is related to age, infection, medical therapy, or chronic disease, while secondary immunodeficiency is due to a mutation in a gene encoding a molecule of the immune system.
  • Primary immunodeficiency occurs in adults, while secondary immunodeficiency is inherited and congenital.
  • Which part of the immune system can be affected by primary immunodeficiency diseases?

    • Leukocyte adhesion deficiency and Pelger-Huet anomaly are inherited disorders observed in animals affecting neutrophil function and appearance
    • Canine C3 deficiency and porcine factor H deficiency are examples of complement deficiencies in animals, leading to renal alterations and dense deposit disease
    • Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) has been described in Arabian horses, leading to failure to produce functional T or B cells and overwhelming infection
    • Selective immunoglobulin deficiency has been observed in dogs, horses, and cattle, with German Shepherds being predisposed to a range of infectious disorders
    • Common variable immunodeficiency is characterized by a failure of B cells to produce antibodies
