Nursing MGT of Patient With Immunological Problems: By: Pooja Rana

This document discusses immunological problems and nursing management of patients with immunodeficiencies. It defines the immune system and immunodeficiency disorders. There are two types of immunodeficiencies - primary, which are present at birth, and secondary, which are acquired. Primary immunodeficiencies include genetic disorders like X-linked agammaglobulinemia. Secondary immunodeficiencies can be caused by things like burns, chemotherapy, radiation, or diabetes. The document also discusses phagocyte dysfunction and specific primary and secondary immunodeficiency disorders.

IMMUNE SYSTEM
The immune system is the body’s defense against infectious
organisms and other invaders. Through a series of steps called the
immune response, the immune system attacks organisms and
substances that invade body systems and cause disease.
IMMUNODEFICIENCY DISORDER

 Immunodeficiency disorders disrupt your body’s ability to defend itself


against bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
 There are 2 types of immunodeficiency disorders: those you are born with
(primary), and those that are acquired(secondary).
 Anything that weakens your immune system can lead to a secondary
immunodeficiency disorder.
 Immunodeficiency disorders prevent your body from fighting infections and
diseases . This type of disorders makes it easier for you to catch viruses and
bacterial infections.
 Your immune system includes the following organs:

SPLEEN
TONSILS
BONE MARROW
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY IMMUNE
DEFICIENCY:
 An immune deficiency disease occurs when the immune system is not working
properly . If you are born with a deficiency or if there is a genetic cause, it is
called primary immunodeficiency disease. There are more than 100 primary
immunodeficiency disorders.
 Examples: x-linked agammaglobulinemia
 Common variable immunodeficiency(CVID)
 Severe combined immunodeficiency immunodeficiency(SCID) is also known as
alymphocytosis or “boy in a bubble” disease.
 Secondary immunodeficiency disorders happen when an outside source like a
toxic chemical or infection attacks your body. The following can causes a
secondary immunodeficiency disorder:
 severe burns
 Chemotherapy
 Radiation
 Diabetes
 Malnutrition
Examples of secondary immunodeficiency disorders include:

AIDS
cancer of the immune system like leukemia
immune-complex diseases, like viral hepatitis
multiple myeloma (cancer of the plasma cells, which produce antibodies)
PHAGOCYTE DYSFUNCTION

 Phagocyte bactericidal dysfunction refers to a class of medical conditions


where phagocytes have a diminished ability ti fight bacterial infection.
 Examples include: hype-IgE syndrome. Chediak-highashi syndrome. Chronic
granulomatous disease.
