Case Map: Immune 34 year old old male tested positive for AIDS that had exisiting HIV
Upstream Causes
co infections
reasons for AIDS:
delayed diagnosis
T cell count decline
Lack of Treatment
opportunistic infections
Indirect causes:
immune dysfunction/ weakened immune system
downstream effects
more prone to infection because of decrease in T cells and pathogens
Indirect effects of virus:
Impaired immune response because of lack of helper T cells
Immediate effects:
opportuistic infections such as PCP, TB, and candidiais
AIDS defining illnesses such as cancers and infections or conditons like Kaposis sarcoma and non Hodgkin lymphoma
wakened immune system and aids released complications
Why is it called AIDS?:
it stands for Acquired Immunodefiancy syndrome and it is named that because its a condone where the immune system become deficient
What will happen if left untreated?
increased suseptabilty to infections
neurological complications
increased mortality
decreased quality of life
wasting syndrome
I
is his immune system working at all?
this is because of loos of T cells and deficiencies in immune responses
overall immune system function is severely impared
some aspects are still working to some extent
background
Lymphocytes:White blood cells involved in adaptive immunity
T Cells: Lymphocytes that coordinate cellular immunity and killing infected cells
Natural killer cells: lymphocytes that detect and destroy infected cells
B Cells: Lymphocytes that produce antibodies to nutralize pathogens
Macrophages: Phagocytic cells that digest pathogens and present to T cells
innate Immune System: Provides immediate, nonspecific defense against pathogens
Lymphoid organs include the spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, tonsils, and adenoids all play a role in immune function- such as filtering lymph, producing immune cells, and mounting immune responses against pathogens
adaptive Immune System: Tailored response to specific pathogens. Includes T cells and B cells, which recognize and target specific antigens
Lymph: clear fluid that circulates throughout the lymphatic system- carries immune cells and wastes away from tissues
antigen recognition:T cells and B cells recognize specific antigens through their surface receptors
Antibody Production: B cells differentiate into plasma cells, which produce antibodies specific to the recognized antigen
Vaccines:stimulate the adaptive immune system by introducing weakened or killed pathogens or their antigens which triggers an immune response
memory Cells: Some activated B cells differentiate into memory B cells and memory T cells that provide long-term immunity
allergy: immune response to harmless substances that triggers symptoms
Autoimmune Disorder:Immune system mistakenly attacks and damages the body's ttissues
Viral infection:caused by virueses
Bacterial infection: caused by bacteria
HIV:the virus that causes HIV infection by targeting and infecting immune cells
AIDS:the most advanced stage of HIV infection, severe immunodeficiency and the development
