Filter by:This study evaluates the efficacy of sequential transplantation of umbilical cord blood stem cells and islet cells in children with monogenic immunodeficiency type 1 diabetes mellitus. Umbilical cord blood stem cell transplantation will be performed first. Children with stable immune reconstruction will than receive islet cell transplantation.
Through a multi-center large-sample non-randomized controlled study, the effect of voriconazole, amphotericin B sequential itraconazole therapy on Talaromyces in Human Immunodeficiency Virus（HIV）negative hosts were compared to clarify whether the two therapies were equivalent; A comprehensive efficacy evaluation system and standard treatment program was established to provide a basis for standardized treatment of Talaromyces in Human Immunodeficiency Virus negative hosts.The observational indicators included: 2-week all-cause mortality; 24-week all-cause mortality; clinical improvement time; level of decrease of fungus in the blood culture medium two weeks before treatment; recurrence; appearance of adverse drug reaction at the level 3 and above. Dynamically monitor the immune cells and factors like anti-Interferon-γ autoantibodies, Interferon-γ, Th1/Th2, and Th17/Treg in the HIV-negative Talaromyces host microenvironment, and observe the host's immune status and its change. 3. study the effect of absence of Interferon-γ and Interferon-γ Receptor (IFN-γR）on the activation and function of anti-Interferon-γ autoantibodies, Th1/Th2, and Th17/Treg by establishing a Talaromyces mouse model that knocks out the Interferon-γ and IFN-γR gene and a IFN-γ silenced cell model; Study the effect of anti-IFN-γ autoantibody on the activation and function of IFN-γ、Th1/Th2、Th17/Treg by increasing its titer in vitro and vivo; determine by which path the anti-IFN-γ autoantibody of HIV-negative host influences its immune regulation mechanism; finally, the intervention effect of IFN-γ on high titer anti-IFN-γ autoantibodies is studied, providing a new idea for immunotargeted therapy.
Observational study looking at barriers to care for individuals seeking care, Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) after an actual or perceived exposure to HIV. Following PEP treatment subjects will be asked about there intent to transition to Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and surveyed about barriers to care or perceptions of care
Background : The occurrence of Primary immune deficiencies (PID) is rare in adults. Antibody deficiencies were the first PID to be diagnosed in adulthood and are mainly represented by common variable immune deficiency. The main manifestation of these PID are encapsulated bacterial infection which used to be recurrent and/or invasive, lead to hospitalization and have high rates of morbidity and mortality. Diagnosis of PID in adulthood may be supported by six warning signs from the European Society of Immunodeficiencies (ESID). However, their guidelines do not comprehensively describe symptoms of PID, even for patients with infections. The guidelines recommend screening adults for PID after at least two severe bacterial infections. The aim of this study is to screen for PID adult admitted to our hospital for encapsulated infection without any predisposal factor. Material and methods : - Monocentric study. Inclusion between September 218 and September 2021 - Inclusion criteria : 1. Age 18 to 65 years old 2. Invasive encapsulated infection (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogènes, Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseiria meningitidis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae ) - Exclusion criteria : 1. Medical history of PID 2. Medical history of Secondary immune deficiency (SID) 3. Local-regional factor that could predispose them to infection 4. Hospital-acquired infection - PID screening included the following: complete blood count, blood smear, immunoglobulin (Ig) isotype (IgA,M, G) and IgG subclass levels, total hemolytic complement and complement fractions (C) 3 and 4, alternative complement pathway (AP50) in case of Neisseria meningitidis (NM) infection, quantitative immunophenotyping of T, B and natural killer cells, specific antibody response to diphtheria, tetanus and pneumococcal vaccine and HIV serology. The clinical and laboratory diagnostic criteria used to identify PID were based on guidelines from the ESID and the Pan-American Group for Immunodeficiency (PAGID) - A consultation in the infectious Diseases Department or Internal Medicine will be scheduled the hospitalization 3 months later to include patients and perform PID screening.
1. The purpose of this study is to learn more about the changes in genes, cells and proteins that cause immune deficiency diseases. 2. The early stages of the study will focus on two groups of patients: 1. members of families in which several persons have symptoms or medical histories that suggest immune deficiency. 2. Patients who have received treatments with medications or drugs that affect functions of the immune system (secondary immune deficiencies). It is hoped that studies will provide guidelines for extension of the research to other patient groups. Up to 200 patients and family members will be invited to participate.
Historically, the database on the HIV was organized within the framework of the medico-economic file of the human immunodeficiency (DMI-2), introduced jointly by the Direction of Hospitals (Mission AIDS) and the INSERM at the end of the 80s. Today this database is fed via the computerized medical record NADIS. Most part of the research works on the theme of the HIV take support on this database (DAD, EuroAIDS, Neuradapt).
Patients with primary or secondary immunodeficiency disease who have developed adverse reactions to products available on the market such as Cuvitru® (Shire), Hizentra® (CSL Behring) or 10% Gammunex® (Grifols), may benefit from utilizing 16.5% Cutaquig® (Octapharma).
Primary immunodeficiencies (PID) represent more than 150 diseases affecting the immune system. More than 50% of PIDs are due to a lack or an insufficiency in antibody production. Some of these immunodeficiencies as well as some secondary immune deficiency with deficient antibody production (especially in hematology and oncology) are responsible for repeated and/or severe infections, requiring long-term replacement therapy with intravenous polyclonal immunoglobulin. Intravenous replacement therapy is administered every 21 or 28 days in hospital. Subcutaneous administration (weekly or bi-weekly) can be initiated for patients who cannot tolerate intravenous infusions or who have difficult venous access. However, some patients experience a decrease in quality of life with these more frequent administration at home. A new treatment is available in France since 2017, which is a subcutaneous infusion of human immunoglobulin facilitated by recombinant human hyaluronidase (IGHy), administered every 3 to 4 weeks in a single abdominal site, at home. No direct data are available in adults to evaluate tolerance and satisfaction with this treatment, but we know it is a preferred option in children and adolescents.
Background: Blood stem cells in the bone marrow make all the cells to normally defend a body against disease. Allogeneic blood or marrow transplant is when these stem cells are transferred from one person to another. Researchers think this treatment can provide a new, healthy immune system to correct T-cell problems in some people. Objective: To see if allogeneic blood or bone marrow transplant is safe and effective in treating people with T-cell problems. Eligibility: Donors: Healthy people ages 4 and older Recipients: People the same age with abnormal T-cell function causing health problems Design: All participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood, heart, and urine tests Donors will also have an electrocardiogram and chest x-ray. They may have veins tested or a pre-anesthesia test. Recipients will also have lung tests. Some participants will have scans and/or bone marrow collected by needle in the hip bones. Donors will learn about medicines and activities to avoid and repeat some screening tests. Some donors will stay in the hospital overnight and have bone marrow collected with anesthesia. Other donors will get shots for several days to stimulate cells. They will have blood removed by plastic tube (IV) in an arm vein. A machine will remove stem cells and return the rest of the blood to the other arm. Recipients will have: - More bone marrow and a small fragment of bone removed - Dental, diet, and social worker consultations - Scans - Chemotherapy and antibody therapy for 2 weeks - Catheter inserted in a chest or neck vein to receive donor stem cells - A hospital stay for several weeks with more medicines and procedures - Multiple follow-up visits
8 to 22% of patients with common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) will develop Granulomatous Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung Disease (GLILD), which has emerged as a major cause of mortality. Little is known about GLILD in children and young adults. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical, functional, radiological and pathological features of children and young adults diagnosed with GLILD.
