Severe Combined Immunodeficiency(SCID)
• Background:• CharacteristicFeature:FailureofLymphocyteProgenitor(Pro-T)Cellwith profoundsusceptibilitytoinfection
• Pathogenesis• Multiplemutations:failuretodevelopTandconsequentlyBlymphocytes.
• Subtype:Adenosinedeaminase(ADA) deficiencyleadstoaccumulationofadenosine,toxictolymphocytes.
• ClinicalFeaturesofProfoundLymphocyteFailure• Failuretothrive/ChronicDiarrhea(2° toperistenceofenteropathogens)• Infections:fungal (mucocutaneouscandidiasis→thrush/diaperrash,Pneumocystis);bacteria/viral
• DistinguishingFeatures• AbsenceofT-cellsandthymicshadow.
• Therapy:• Bonemarrowtransplant(hematopoieticstemcells)– norejection• Gene/Replacementtherapy:Adenosinedeaminase
