|---|---|---|
| Immune deficiencies affecting B cell function: | X-linked agammaglobulinaemia | |
| hypogammaglobulinaemia of infancy | ||
| IgA deficiency | ||
| IgG subclass deficiency, and selective antibody deficiency with normal immunoglobulins | ||
| common variable immune deficiency | ||
| Combined T and B cell deficiencies: | severe combined immunodeficiency | |
| "Pure" T cell immunodeficiencies: | mucocutaneous Candidiasis | |
| X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome | ||
| Primary syndromes which are associated with immunodeficiency: | di George anomaly | |
| Wiskott-Aldridge syndrome | ||
| ataxia telangiectasia | ||
| Primary defects of phagocytic function: | chronic granulomatous disease | |
| leukocyte adhesion deficiency | ||
| Complement deficiencies: | C1 inhibitor deficiency (hereditary angioedema) | |
| deficiencies of individual complement components | ||
| SECONDARY IMMUNODEFICIENCIES: | infections (e.g. HIV) | |
| lymphoproliferative diseases (e.g. CLL, multiple myeloma) | ||
| causes of reduced production of immune components, e.g. malnutrition, drugs | ||
| loss or increased catabolism of immune components e.g. protein losing enteropathy, nephrotic syndrome, burns | ||
