Study Notes
X-Linked Agammaglobulinemia
- Characterized by early maturation failure of B cells, affecting males, and resulting in few or no B cells in the blood
Immunodeficiency and Infections
- X-linked agammaglobulinemia results in susceptibility to pyogenic infections
- Deficiency in patients who tend to develop immune complex disease is most commonly associated with IgA and IgG deficiency
- Patients with IgA and IgG deficiency produce a large amount of IgM, leading to susceptibility to pyogenic infection
Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID)
- Characterized by acquired agammaglobulinemia in the 2nd or 3rd decade of life, which may follow viral infection
- Defect in CVID is the failure of B cells to differentiate and produce antibodies
Immunodeficiency with Increased IgM (HIgM)
- Results in the production of a large amount of IgM
- Associated with susceptibility to pyogenic infections
