Immunodeficiency associated with laevocardia bronchiectasis and paranasal sinus anomalies.

摘要

In a case of laevocardia, bronchiectasis, and paranasal sinus abnormalities, assessment on 2 occasions showed the presence of moderate immunodeficiency. Serum concentrations of IgG and IgM were low, and serum and salivary IgA was not detected. T-lymphocytes were reduced in number and cell-mediated immunity in vivo and in vitro was impaired. Opsonisation, complement system, and neutrophil functions were normal.
