Symptoms tend to be brief, but can range from mild to severe and include: fever, vomiting, increased respirations or difficulty breathing, cough, wheeze, and rash. Symptoms typically follow an exposure to allergens or certain drugs, and last approximately two weeks. [3] Eosinophilia is the main feature of diagnostic criteria for Loffler's syndrome.
A death rattle is noisy breathing that often occurs in someone near death. [1] Accumulation of fluids such as saliva and bronchial secretions in the throat and upper airways is the cause. [ 2 ] Those who are dying may lose their ability to swallow and may have increased production of bronchial secretions, resulting in such an accumulation. [ 3 ]
Symptoms can start within an hour of exposure, and can last for several months. [1] [3] [5] Early symptoms are usually nausea, vomiting and loss of appetite. [1] In the following hours or weeks, initial symptoms may appear to improve, before the development of additional symptoms, after which either recovery or death follow. [1]
Bare lymphocyte syndrome is a condition caused by mutations in certain genes of the major histocompatibility complex or involved with the processing and presentation of MHC molecules. It is a form of severe combined immunodeficiency .
In Susac's syndrome, an autoimmune response damages the blood vessels of the brain, retina and cochlea, leading to a loss of neurological functions. Patients with the syndrome had hearing and vision loss and were found to have higher concentrations of lymphocytes and proteins in their cerebrospinal fluid.
The genetic cause of Bare lymphocyte syndrome type II is due to mutations in any of the following genes: [5]. CIITA is responsible for giving instructions to create a protein that controls transcription of genes (MHC class II), and is located at 16p13.13 (cytogenetic location), [6]
Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia (LIP) is a syndrome secondary to autoimmune and other lymphoproliferative disorders. Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia applies to disorders associated with both monoclonal or polyclonal gammopathy. [1]
It affects lymphocyte apoptosis. [2] It is a rare genetic disorder of abnormal lymphocyte survival caused by defective Fas mediated apoptosis. [3] Normally, after infectious insult, the immune system down-regulates by increasing Fas expression on activated B and T lymphocytes and Fas-ligand on activated T lymphocytes.
