Nijmegen breakage syndrome (NBS) is a rare autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by microcephaly, immunodeficiency and predisposition to cancer, mainly B-cell lymphomas. Our 10-years-old female patient with NBS developed T-cell lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoma (TLBL/ALL). The use of standard chemotherapy in our patient, except for cranial irradiation, led to complete and sustained remission...

WHIM-syndrome is an inherited immunodeficiency disorder with abnormal susceptibility to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and diseases. We determined safety and immunogenicity to a quadrivalent HPV vaccine in WHIM-syndrome by detection of HPV-specific antibodies and lymphoproliferation. In virus-like-particle (VLP)-ELISA, a WHIM patient showed antibody titers up to 400 for HPV-6/11/16/18, wh...

We report a 20 year old man with short stature, microcephaly, unusual facies, numerous pigmented naevi, hypodontia, immunodeficiency, and a high pitched voice. Tympner et al had assumed that the patient had a new syndrome of "progressive combined immunodeficiency and ectomesodermal dysplasia". We show here that the condition is identical to the Mulvihill-Smith syndrome (McKusick 176690), a prog...

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is a heterogeneous group of disorders, characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia and increased susceptibility to recurrent infections, autoimmunity and malignancies. we have previously shown that some pediatric patients with cvid can respond to meningococcal polysaccharide vaccine. twelve pediatric cases with cvid were re-evaluated to determine whether bacte...

introduction bacillus calmette-guérin (bcg) vaccine, a live attenuated mycobacterium bovis strain, is administrated to all newborn infants in endemic regions according to the current world health organization (who) recommendation. case presentation we report a 10-month-boy who was a known case of severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) admitted with multi-focal fusiform painful swelling in his ...

infection with human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) is a progressive condition which may cause endothelial dysfunction and liver damage leading to coagulopathy. with adventure of highly active antiretroviral therapy (haart), life expectancy has prolonged in hiv positive patients but several acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (aids)-related conditions such as coagulopathies are responsible for ass...

background : common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) is associated with a broad spectrum of symptoms related to infections, chronic lung diseases, autoimmune diseases, and tumors; however, solid tumors are rare complications of cvid and gastric cancer, specially, has been reported very rarely. case presentation : the present case report describes a 28 years old known case of cvid male, who was ...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) envelope gp120 is partly an intrinsically disordered (unstructured/disordered) protein as it contains regions that do not fold into well-defined protein structures. These disordered regions play important roles in HIV's life cycle, particularly, V3 loop-dependent cell entry, which determines how the virus uses two coreceptors on immune cells, the chem...


 HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system making body susceptible to various diseases, such as TB, TORCH and others. Knowing effect of incidence which has CD-8 T Cell maturity accompanied by UTI (Urinary Tract Infection) Hip Dislocation with Sciatic Nerve Pain using minipill emergency contraception PTSD (Post Traumatic Syndrome Disorder) in Commercial S...
