Active acquired immunity
(Acquired or specific) Immunity acquired by
immunization/vaccination or naturally being exposed to infectious
pathogens like chicken pox.
Passive acquired immunity
Occurs by the introduction of preformed antibodies—either from an
artificial route, such as a transfusion of immunoglobulin (Ig), or from
a natural route (from mother to baby through the placenta or
breastfeeding)
Humoral Immunity
A defense system that involves WBC's (B lymphocytes) that produce
antibodies in response to antigens or pathogens circulating in the
lymph and blood.
Antibodies
Immunoglobin molecules that recognize foreign invaders.
,Cellular immunity
Involves defense by wbcs against microorganisms that the body does
not recognize.
Skin
A barrier that is impermeable to most infectious microorganisms.
Primary immune response
The response that occurs following the first exposure to a foreign
antigen. Slower response.
Immunization
________________ is the process by which an individual develops
immunity against a specific agent; it is important in preventing the
spread of communicable diseases.
Primary Immunodeficiency (PI)
Occurs when the entire immune defense is missing some or all
components for complete immune response. Individuals with this
are more susceptible to infections.
,If 2 or more warning signs are showing, Primary Immunodeficiency is
diagnosed.
1. Four or more new ear infections within 1 year
2. Two or more serious sinus infections within 1 year
3. Two or more months of taking antibiotics with little effect
4. Two or more pneumonias within 1 year
5. Failure of an infant to gain weight or grow normally
6. Recurrent, deep skin, or organ abscesses
7. Persistent thrush in mouth or fungal infection on skin
8. Need for intravenous antibiotics to clear infections
9. Two or more deep-seated infections, including septicemia
10. A family history of PI.
, 10 Warning Signs of (PI)
Secondary Immunodeficiency
Is the loss of immune functioning (in which the person was
previously with normal immune functioning) as a result of an illness
or treatment.
(Ex: Depressed system may be created with meds in order to avoid
rejection in transplanted tissue, or it may be induced as a result of
treatment or various types of cancer. Leukemia and the destruction
of bone marrow is necessary before healthy stem cells can be
reintroduced and reestablish a healthy immune system.)
Superinfection
Is an infection that occurs during antimicrobial treatments for
another infection.
(MRSA, C. Diff, treatment-resistant fungal infections, VRE (people can
carry without knowing)
Clostridioides difficile (C.diff)
A germ (bacterium) that causes diarrhea and colitis (an inflammation
of the colon).
