A Level Biology Revision "Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)"

health No Comments »

You can find all my A Level Biology videos fully indexed at https://www.freesciencelessons.co.uk/a-level-revision-videos/a-level-biology/

In this video, we look at the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV. First we explore the structure of HIV and see how it is an example of an RNA virus. Next we explore how HIV replicates and how this leads to the symptoms of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Finally, we look at why we cannot use antibiotics to treat viral diseases such as HIV.

What are primary immunodeficiencies?
The immune system helps your body fight infections. People with a primary immunodeficiency (PIDs, PI) or an inborn error of immunity (IEI), have immune systems that do not work properly.

PIDs are rare and chronic conditions that occur when some components of the immune system, mainly cells and proteins, do not work properly, or at all. People with PIDs are more prone than others to recurrent or unusual infections, and this can lead to serious harm to their health.

Primary immunodeficiencies manifest through many different symptoms, and recognizing these symptoms is key to an early and successful diagnosis. Importantly, patients also require different forms of medical treatments depending on their PID, and most of these are lifelong. Some PIDs can also be treated with curative interventions.

Annual World Primary Immunodeficiency Week and Covid-19

health No Comments »

A primary immunodeficiency disorder compromises the immune system and prevents the body from fighting off any infection or disease. During this time of Covid-19 a strong immune system is key and those who suffer from any immunodeficiency disease could be at an increased risk. The Annual World Primary Immunodeficiency Week has this year been extended to 10 weeks from 22 April to the 1st of July to raise awareness for those living with any of these diseases. Professor Claudia Gray, Paediatric Allergy Specialist at Red Cross Children’s Hospital & UCT Lung Institute joins us this morning to tell us more about the link between PID and Covid-19.

A Family Affair: One Family’s Journey with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID)

health No Comments »

Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) is a potentially fatal primary immunodeficiency. This condition is generally considered to be the most serious of the primary immunodeficiencies. Today, early identification of SCID can make possible life-saving interventions. Join the Immune Deficiency Foundation as we speak with Nicole Locastro, a mother of a child diagnosed with SCID through newborn screening. Nicole offers us some thoughtful insights into the family experience and some strategies her family employed along the way.

There's a misconception circulating that COVID-19 causes immunodeficiency. This is not the case

health No Comments »

There is a recent misconception circulating that COVID-19 causes immunodeficiency. The TL;DR: this is not the case.

Immunodeficiency occurs when one (or both) arms of the adaptive immune system are not functioning properly. This means that individuals become susceptible for a broad array of opportunistic illnesses. These include infections with microorganisms that would normally not cause disease in most healthy individuals.

These include:

Pneumocystis pneumonia: serious respiratory illness caused by fungal infection by the pathogen Pneumocystis jirovecii

Tuberculosis: caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Typically very rare, infection risk increases if someone’s immune system is not functioning properly.

Coccidioidomycosis: also called valley fever, this is another infection with a fungus found in the soil.

Cryptosporidiosis: a parasitic infection that can cause diarrhea and other severe GI symptoms

These types of illnesses are not occurring after recovery from COVID-19. T cells are not being “wiped out” after COVID-19. Yes, there is some evidence that some individuals have temporary immune system changes or perturbations after infection with SARS-CoV-2, but that is not the same as immunodeficiency, and is also not unique to this virus. More on this topic soon!

Winter respiratory illnesses such as RSV and influenza are not opportunistic infections. We’ve chatted about some reasons why there is increased infection activity previously, so check that out too.

Please be careful who you consume information from – misleading info is everywhere.

107P Severe Combined Immunodeficiency, Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome

health No Comments »

Visit my website for a full list of videos. Enjoy.
https://drkevinmangum.com/youtube-pathology-videos

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) represents a constellation of genetically distinct syndromes with the common feature of defects in both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. Affected infants are susceptible to severe recurrent infections by a wide array of pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoans; opportunistic infections by Candida, Pneumocystis, CMV, and Pseudomonas also cause serious (and occasionally lethal) disease.

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is an X-linked recessive disease characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema, and a marked vulnerability to recurrent infection, ending in early death; the only treatment is bone marrow transplantation.
