Study Notes
UBD Characteristics
- UBD is characterized by humoral immunity deficiency
- 50-60% of UBD cases involve B cell defects
- B cell defects lead to deficiency of Ig and antibody
Clinical Features
- Increased susceptibility to bacteria, enterovirus, and intestine parasites
- Delayed growth and development
- Increased incidence of autoimmune diseases
- Increased incidence of malignant tumors
- Reduced numbers of peripheral blood B cells
- Absent or reduced levels of Ig
Pathogenesis of UBD
- Block of differentiation and development of B cells
- Reduced function of Th cells
