Things to consider… What kinds of infections How frequently Co-morbidities Factors that might contribute to infections (e.g. day care!) Family history May 11, 2021 11
Slide 12-

May 11, 2021 12 Imperatives for the Primary Care Provider Accurate record of immunizations Maintain accurate and ongoing growth charts Complete family history with genogram Follow-up after antibiotic treatment (i.e. did what you prescribed work?)

Screening Tests for Primary Immunodeficiencies
Slide 14-

…But always start with a CBC
Slide 15-

Rule of 2/3’s For a child under the age of 3 years: 2/3 of WBC should be lymphocytes 2/3 of lymphocytes should be T cells 2/3 of T cells should be CD4 cells For someone older than 3 yoa 2/3 of WBC should be neutrophils 2/3 of lymphocytes should be T cells 2/3 of T cells should be CD4 cells 15

May 11, 2021 17 Clinical Features of Immunodeficiency Increased susceptibility to infection Predisposition for autoimmune or inflammatory diseases, e.g. - Inflammatory bowel disease - Autoimmune cytopenias - Type I Diabetes - Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis Predisposition for lymphoreticular cancers Syndrome complex
Slide 18-

May 11, 2021 18 Infections in Immunodeficient Patients Chronic/recurrent infections without other explanation Infection with organisms of low virulence Infection of unusual severity Any site of infection is possible, but different kinds of infection are characteristic of the specific immunodeficiency suspected
Slide 19-

May 11, 2021 19 Disorders of Humoral Immunity 1. Transient Hypogammaglobulinemia of Infancy X-linked Agammaglobulinemia (Bruton’s Agammaglobulinemia, BTK deficiency, X-LAG) Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) Selective IgA deficiency
Slide 20-

May 11, 2021 20 Transient Hypogammaglobulinemia of Infancy Characterized by Low serum immunoglobulins Little antibody response to vaccines Frequent sinopulmonary infections Condition may last into pre-school years Diagnosis can only be made definitively in retrospect
Slide 21-

May 11, 2021 21 Care and Treatment of the Child with Suspected Transient Hypogam Serial monitoring of immunoglobulins and antibody titers Reimmunization may be necessary PNP needs to be aware that infections may require longer courses of antibiotics for treatment than usually prescribed Gamma globulin is seldom necessary Any fever of 101.5F or greater requires that the child have a CBC, blood culture and physical exam Live viral vaccines should be held until immunocompetency is demonstrated
Slide 22-

May 11, 2021 22 X-linked Agammaglobulinemia 1:200,000 live births No/few B cells, normal T cells No tonsils, small lymph nodes Usually not diagnosed until after 4 months when maternal immunity wanes
Slide 23-

May 11, 2021 23 Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) Approximately 20% of these patients are diagnosed under the age of 16 Characterized by low serum immunoglobulins and susceptibility to infections because of impaired antibody responses Sinopulmonary infections are most common Predisposition for autoimmune diseases

May 11, 2021 26 Treatment of Humoral Immune Disorders Regular infusions of pooled human gamma globulin (either IV every 3-4 weeks or subq weekly) Aggressive treatment of infections Surveillance for co-morbidities
Slide 27-

May 11, 2021 27 Primary Care of the Child with Humoral Immunity Defects Low tolerance for fever, signs of infection No live viral vaccines (Varivax, MMR, Pro-Quad, Flu-Mist, Rota-Teq) Because of the increased incidence of autoimmune disease in this population, monitor growth curves, carefully assess new complaints or signs and symptoms of problems Do not need routine immunization since they do not make protective levels of antibodies
Slide 28-

May 11, 2021 28 Disorders of Cellular Immunity 1. Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)
Slide 29-

May 11, 2021 29 Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) Severe impairment of humoral and cell- mediated immune function Susceptibility to infection by virtually any microbe Unless treated, usually fatal within the first year of life 12 known genetic causes 45% X-linked 15% Adenosine Deaminase Deficiency
Slide 30-

May 11, 2021 30 Treatment of SCID Bone Marrow transplant Gamma globulin replacement therapy Antibiotic prophylaxis for PCP and fungal infections Gene therapy PEG-ADA (Adagen) IM 2 or 3 times per week (if etiology is ADA deficiency) Nutritional support

Slide 37-

May 11, 2021 37 T-Thymic aplasia or hypoplasia Thymic aplasia requires thymic or bone marrow transplant Those with thymic hypoplasia must be protected from live viral vaccines, transfusions of unirradiated blood, and opportunistic infections until T cell numbers normalize 10% have delayed production of IgG 2 - 4 % have IgA deficiency
Slide 38-

May 11, 2021 38 C-Cleft Lip/Palate (velopharyngeal abnormality associated issues) Cleft palate (submucous cleft is common) Recurrent otitis media and sinusitis Problems with speech articulation
Slide 39-

May 11, 2021 39 H-Hypocalcemia Neonatal hypocalcemia occurs in 50-70% of patients Problem generally resolves with increased dietary calcium intake and growth of parathyroid glands Hypocalcemia can develop in older patients who are stressed by acute medical illnesses, trauma or cardiopulmonary bypass

Slide 51-

May 11, 2021 51 Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) Phagocytes have normal function, EXCEPT they cannot make an oxidative burst So…phagocytes successfully defend against some organisms, but not those that require an oxidative burst to kill them; these are usually catalase-postive bacteria and fungi

May 11, 2021 60 Role of the PNP in Pediatric Primary Immunodeficiency Routine primary care is critical, particularly in the assessment of growth and development Toddlers and pre-schoolers should be seen at least twice a year for well-child visits (on an alternate schedule with the immunologists so that they are seen every three months) School-age children and adolescents should be seen yearly (on an alternate schedule with the immunologists so that they are seen every six months) Insure immunization when appropriate
