متن کاملSalivary lysozyme levels in patients with primary immunodeficiencies.
BACKGROUND Lysozyme is a muramidase that acts on the peptideoglycan wall of Gram positive bacteria, causing cell death. It plays part in innate immunity and is present in blood, external fluid, as well in lysossomal granules of the phagocytes. Primary Immunodeficiencies are a diverse group of illnesses that, as a result of abnormalities of the immune system, increase susceptibility to infection...
متن کاملInfectious pathogens in pediatric patients with primary immunodeficiencies.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are rare disorders. Unusual infections often guide the initial investigation for immunodeficiency. METHODS In order to ascertain the organisms that lead to a predisposition for PIDs, we reviewed the charts of 92 children diagnosed with PIDs at the National Taiwan University Hospital between March 1984 and March 2004. RESULTS Pn...
