Immunodeficiency

Nursing, 2023
Abstract: Immunodeficiency is an immune system defect that increases a person's susceptibility to infection. This article discusses the signs, symptoms, and management of patients with immunodeficiency.

ANTIBIOTICS AND IMMUNODEFICIENCY

The Lancet, 1972
Abstract Immunological-deficiency syndromes were not observed before 1952. A possible explanation is that some of these conditions are produced by administration of antibiotics to certain individuals at a critical point in the development of immune responses.

Immunodeficiency of the Elderly

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1987
The elderly are at risk for an increased incidence and severity of certain infections. The contribution of age-related immunologic impairment to the pathogenesis of these infections has been difficult to determine because of a number of confounding variables associated with aging.

Arthritis and immunodeficiency

The Journal of Pediatrics, 1972
Summary A single case of chronic polyarthritis has been observed among 35 immunodeficient patients. Six additional patients have had transient arthritis or arthralgia, and two have had other musculoskeletal problems. This observation is not in accord with the high prevalence of chronic arthritis previously reported among immunodeficient patients. The

Immunodeficiency of Aging

Drugs & Aging, 1997
Aging is associated with declines in multiple areas of immune function, but to date no single mechanism has emerged as being responsible for all the observed changes. Many changes occur at different rates within individuals as well as between individuals. With advancing age there is a concomitant increase in the incidence of many infections and cancers.

Immunomodulation and immunodeficiency

Veterinary Dermatology, 2004
Abstract This article briefly reviews the concepts of immunodeficiency and immunomodulation as they relate to selected skin diseases in the dog and cat. Immunodeficiency states are uncommon and may be associated with a subnormal or down‐regulated immune system, including humoral deficiencies, such as IgA, and abnormal lymphocyte or neutrophil function.

Autoimmunity and Immunodeficiency

Pediatrics In Review, 2015
The references provided include data from evidence A and B studies based on the relevant populations. Because many primary immunodeficiencies associated with autoimmune diseases are rare, illustrative cases (evidence D) also are referenced. On the basis of level A evidence, immunoglobulin A deficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency and is ...

The Primary Immunodeficiencies

New England Journal of Medicine, 1984
The primary immunodeficiency disorders reflect abnormalities in the development and maturation of cells of the immune system. These defects result in an increased susceptibility to infection; recurrent pyogenic infections occur with defects of humoral immunity, and opportunistic infections with defects of cell-mediated immunity.
