Hyper-IgM syndrome type 1. Hyper IgM syndrome type 1 (HIGM-1) is the X-linked variant of the hyper IgM syndrome . The affected individuals are virtually always male, because males only have one X chromosome, received from their mothers. Their mothers are not symptomatic, even though they are carriers of the allele, because the trait is recessive.
Viral disease. A viral disease (or viral infection) occurs when an organism's body is invaded by pathogenic viruses, and infectious virus particles (virions) attach to and enter susceptible cells. [1] Examples are the common cold, gastroenteritis and pneumonia. [2]
Hyper-IgM syndrome type 1 (X-linked), characterized by mutations of the CD40LG gene. In this type, lack of CD40L on the surfaces of T cells results in defective signaling to B cells, which do not receive the needed signal to undergo isotype switching. Therefore, the only antibody secreted by the B cell is IgM, the least specific class of antibody.
Epstein–Barr virus infectious mononucleosis (Mono) Fever – usually lasting 14 days; often mild. Sore throat – usually severe for 3–5 days, before resolving in the next 7–10 days. Swollen glands – mobile; usually located around the back of the neck (posterior cervical lymph nodes) and sometimes throughout the body.
Vaccines can help the immune system to create enough antibodies and decrease a risk of side effects like arm pain, fever, and headache. [28] [29] According to research papers published in 2005 and 2006, the identification and development of novel vaccines and medicines to treat SARS was a priority for governments and public health agencies ...
e. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 ( A/H5N1) is a subtype of the influenza A virus, which causes influenza (flu), predominantly in birds. It is enzootic (maintained in the population) in many bird populations, and also panzootic (affecting animals of many species over a wide area). [1] A/H5N1 virus can also infect mammals (including humans) that ...
Treatment. Antibiotics are the treatment of choice for bacterial pneumonia, with ventilation (oxygen supplement) as supportive therapy. The antibiotic choice depends on the nature of the pneumonia, the microorganisms most commonly causing pneumonia in the geographical region, and the immune status and underlying health of the individual.
The genotype can affect treatment of HCV infections. Recent studies show that HCV genotypes consist of 8 genotypes and 67 subtypes. [13] [14] All the genotypes and subtypes affect the liver to the same extent of damage irrespective of the HCV genotype [7] Among the common six genotypes, genotype 1 is the most prevalent form in the United States ...
