Extractions: Glossary of the Immune System The immune system has two major functions: To recognize substances that are foreign to the body, and: To react to them. An immune system that is functioning adequately may defend the body against infectious microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) and protect the body from the development of tumors and cancer. The two mechanisms within the body that provide these defenses are the specific immune response involving the T-cells, B-cells and immunoglobulins, and the nonspecific responses. Click here to learn more about what the immune system is and how it works Return to Top An immune deficiency disease occurs when one or more cells within the immune system do not operate properly, or the system is absent altogether. Some immune deficiency diseases are relatively common, while others are extremely rare.

Current News Releases 2005 Release Rapid, New Test Developed for Inherited Immune Deficiency BETHESDA, Md. , Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2005 - Researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), have developed a new laboratory method that rapidly identifies babies born with inherited forms of severe immune deficiency. The new genetic test, which still must be validated before widespread use, could someday be added to the panel of tests that already screen newborns for a variety of disorders. The test identifies babies born with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, or SCID, an illness in which the infant fails to develop a normal immune system. SCID babies can be infected by a wide range of viruses, bacteria and fungi that are normally controlled by a healthy baby's immune system. If undetected and untreated, SCID typically leads to death before the baby's first birthday. Developed in the NHGRI Division of Intramural Research (DIR), the new test can use the same dried blood samples already collected from newborns and would provide the first accurate, high-throughput screen for immune deficiencies. Prior efforts to identify this disorder by counting white blood cells in newborns proved unreliable and expensive.

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a primary immune deficiency that can be successfully treated if it s identified early.
http://kidshealth.org/parent/medical/allergies/severe_immunodeficiency.html

Extractions: In the time following birth, newborns are protected by immunity transmitted to them by their mothers. Within the next few months, though, their immune systems develop and begin to assume responsibility for fighting off infections. But it doesn't take long to determine that a few babies don't have the ability to fight off routine infections on their own. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is a rare immune deficiency. There are many other immune deficiencies that may result in recurrent infections, but some children are born with an incomplete, or deficient, immune system. The symptoms of immune deficiency depend on what part of the immune system is affected and can range from mild to life-threatening. SCID is a primary immune deficiency that can be successfully treated if it's identified early. Otherwise, it's often fatal within the first year. What Is SCID?

Extractions: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare disorder usually affecting infants and young children, but it can occur at any age. While the exact cause of HLH is unknown, it is felt to be caused by a disorder of immune system regulation, which leads to the activation of infection fighting cells called histiocytes and lymphocytes. Their normal function is to travel throughout the body and destroy foreign material and fight infections. Patients with HLH have too many of these activated histiocytes and they begin to accumulate in normal tissue and cause inflammation and damage to a variety of organs. Common sites of involvement include the bone marrow, lymph nodes, liver, spleen, and brain. There are two main types of HLH, the familial form and the secondary form. The familial form of HLH (FHL) is genetic, and families who have more than one child with HLH will be diagnosed with this form. In these families, there will be a 25% risk that each subsequent sibling will develop FHL usually within the first 2 years of life. The secondary form of HLH develops secondary to abnormal activation of the immune system, which can occur after certain infections or after the use of drugs which suppress the immune system. It is very difficult to tell these two forms apart without a previously affected sibling. However, early age of onset is suggestive of the familial form and onset in older children is more common in the secondary form and there may be an association with a recently detected infection. It is important to note though, that children with FHL may also have the disease triggered by an infection.

What is a Primary Immune Deficiency Disease? Primary immune deficiency diseases are disorders in which part of the body's immune system is missing or does not function properly. In contrast to secondary immune deficiency disease in which the immune system is compromised by factors outside the immune system, such as with certain medications like chemotherapy or viruses, the primary immune deficiency diseases are caused by genetic or intrinsic defects in the immune system. There are a wide variety of primary immune deficiencies. There are nearly 100 primary immune deficiency diseases including X-linked Agammaglobulinemia (Bruton's Disease), Common Variable Immune Deficiency (also called Hypogammaglobulinemia), Selective IgA Deficiency, and Severe Combined Immune Deficiency (boy-in-the-bubble disease). Some disorders, such as Selective IgA Deficiency can be quite common, occurring as often as 1/400 individuals. While others, such as Severe Combined Immune Deficiency, can be as rare as one in a million. Untreated primary immune deficiencies may be characterized by frequent life-threatening or chronic infections and debilitating illnesses.

People with PIDD are unable to fight off bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and malignant cells, which can lead to frequent infections that are difficult to fight and to an increased incidence of cancer. The condition can go undetected because the symptoms appear as "ordinary" infections of the sinuses, ears, or lungs, or as gastrointestinal problems or inflammation of the joints. As a result, families and physicians are often unaware that the troubling conditions they see in the child are actually caused by an underlying defect of the immune system.

More about CFIDS What is Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome? Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome, CFIDS or CFS, is a serious and complex illness. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is associated with systemic and cognitive symptoms and with several immune abnormalities. It affects numerous body systems such as the central nervous system, endocrine, immune and gastrointestinal to name a few. According to the CFS case definition published in the Dec. 15, 1994 issue of the Annals of Internal Medicine , diagnosing CFIDS requires a thorough medical history, physical and mental status examinations and laboratory tests to identify underlying or contributing conditions that require treatment. Chronic fatigue can be classified as Chronic Fatigue and Immune Dysfunction Syndrome if the patient meets both the following criteria: Clinically evaluated, unexplained persistent or relapsing chronic fatigue that is of new or definite onset (i.e., not lifelong) is not the result of ongoing exertion, is not substantially alleviated by rest, and results in substantial reduction in previous levels of occupational, educational, social or personal activities.
