Immunodeficiency
‘a failure to achieve immune function to provide efficient, self-limited host defence against the biotic and abiotic environment while preserving tolerance to self.’
Casanova et al. J Allergy Clin Immunol 2005

• Infancy + early childhood - immune system encounters antigens for first time, mounting immune responses and acquiring memory.
The Problem
![Page 6: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Infancy + early childhood - immune system encounters antigens for first time, mounting immune responses and acquiring memory.
• Young children mix with other children in families or nursery
The Problem
![Page 7: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
• Infancy + early childhood - immune system encounters antigens for first time, mounting immune responses and acquiring memory.
• Young children mix with other children in families or nursery
• Exposed to many pathogens.
The Problem
![Page 8: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Infancy + early childhood - immune system encounters antigens for first time, mounting immune responses and acquiring memory.
• Young children mix with other children in families or nursery
• Exposed to many pathogens.
• Young children vulnerable to infection - recurrent infection is common.
The Problem
![Page 9: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Recurrent or persistent infection is major manifestation of primary immunodeficiency (PID).
The Problem
![Page 10: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Significant treatment advances make it important to recognize children with PID early, before significant end organ damage occurs to maximize opportunity for successful treatment.

• Maternal IgG transferred to fetus during 3rd trimester via the placenta
• As maternal IgG decays intrinsic IgG responses develop
• As maternal IgG decays there is a physiological nadir between 3 - 6 months, which may be prolonged

• These responses mature between about 2–5 years of age, (may be delayed beyond this).

Clues!• Age• FH• Organism
– Pneumocystis jerovici– Invasive S. aureus infection or Burkholderia cepacia
septicaemia– Aspergillus (fungal) pneumonia– Aspergilloma (S. aureus pneumonia)– EBV-associated lymphoma– Disseminated atypical mycobacterial infection– Recurrent meningococcal infection
• Organ specific features
![Page 52: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Who to Investigate?• difficult - infection in childhood is very common! • High index of clinical suspicion is needed• Compared with other children, an
immunodeficient child is likely to have:– more infections that take longer to resolve or have
an atypical course– Infections with common organisms may run an
unusually severe course, e.g. haemorrhagic chickenpox, or fail to respond to standard treatments
![Page 53: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Who to Investigate?• Infection should be taken in context with other
findings in history & examination and FH
• When evaluating the number of infections, other factors:– parental smoking, – attendance at nursery – anatomical problems
should be considered.
![Page 54: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Predictive value of the 10 warning signs in children with primary immunodeficiency (PI)
160 (37%) of 430 children with defined PI had • less than two of 10 warning signs of PI
• Only 18 (4%) were referred by primary care physicians, remainder came via hospital specialists (? Who referred there).
• Analysing PI as a single entity, only 3/10 warning signs (family history, oral antibiotics and failure to thrive) positively predicted patients with defined PIs.

![Page 55: Recognition of Primary Immunodeficiency](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062502/56815612550346895dc3d273/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Compared with patients where no defined PI was found, patients with all PI types were more likely to have
• a family history
• had a prolonged course of oral antibiotics.
• T-cell PI associated with thrush and FTT but less sinus and ear infections.
• Complement PI associated with the highest prevalence of deep-seated bacterial infections
• Neutrophil PIs associated with the highest risk of recurrent abscesses and IV antibiotic use.

Critical Messages• Consider immunodeficiency• Other clues?• Don’t dismiss non-pathogenic
organisms• Treat with broad spectrum agents• Multi-agent treatment:
– Resistance– Multiple organisms

Take Home Message• Talk to each other
– about the patient– about possible diagnoses– about likely microbes – is serotype important– tissue diagnosis – what tests?– ? Any special microbiological tests– ? Role of PCR (nb serology unhelpful)– about appropriate treatment– how long? (long usually)– alternative treatments
