heart valve abnormalities and Libman- Sacks endocarditis, which is a nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis. Peripheral neuropathy, seizures, cognitive impairment, anxiety and depression have all been recorded in patients with SLE. The symptoms of lupus wax and wane and mimic those of several other conditions. Therefore, diagnosis of the condition requires a thorough medical history, physical exam and laboratory tests for antinuclear antibodies (ANA), antiphospholipid antibodies, ant- smith and anti- double- strand DNA antibodies. A comprehensive metabolic panel and urine samples for renal function may also be needed. Skin or mucosal biopsy may be performed to show characteristics but not pathognomonic histopathological features and a positive lupus band test. Management of the condition involves a team consisting of a family physician, cardiologist, derma­tologist, endocrinologist, pulmonologist, nephrologist, rheumatologist and a mental health profes­sional. Drug therapy is individualised depending on the symptoms and organs involved. Mild disease may be treated with hydroxychloroquine NSAIDs with or without corticosteroids like pred­nisone. A steroid- sparing drug like azathioprine, belimumab or anifrolumab may be added to con­trol symptoms associated with moderate disease. Severe disease requires inpatient care with added therapy, including rituximab, cyclophosphamide and mycophenolate. Newer drugs such as anti­bodies to IFN- I receptor (Anifrolumab), anti- interleukin six receptor drugs, and more unique anti­ CD20monoclonal antibodies like Obinutuzumab are undergoing clinical trials(4, 5).
11.2.4 Type IV Hypersensitivity Disorders (Delayed/Cell- mediated)
Type IV hypersensitivity reactions evolve over 12 hours (delayed), including previously sensitised T- cell (cell- mediated) release of lymphokines and recruitment of other cell types like macrophages and effector cytotoxic T- cells. Three kinds of type IV hypersensitivity disorders are recognised. They are contact hypersensitivity reactions, tuberculin- type hypersensitivity reactions and granu­lomatous hypersensitivity reactions.
11.2.4.1 Contact Hypersensitivity Reactions
Contact hypersensitivity reactions or contact dermatitis occur at the point of contact with an aller­gen. Commonly implicated allergens include poison ivy (pentadecylcatechol), nickel, acrylics, latex, preservatives, industrial chemicals and chromate. They penetrate the skin, sensitise the

antigen- presenting Langerhans cells, and stimulate keratinocyte release of pro- inflammatory cytokines. Sensitisation of Langerhans cells results in the formation of CD4+ memory T- cells in the regional lymph nodes. This process of sensitisation takes from 10 to 14days. Reintroduction of the allergen results in its presentation to the CD4+ memory T- cells with activation of inflamma­tion, all within 48– 72 hours. The area of the skin exposed to the allergen shows an erythematous pruritic rash accompanied by oedema and vesiculation.
11.2.4.2 Oral Contact Hypersensitivity Reactions
Oral mucosal contact hypersensitivity reactions have also been described against dental restorative materials having zinc, indium, palladium and chromium as in dental amalgam. The reaction has a lichenoid appearance clinically (Figure11.5) and histopathologically but is limited to the mucosal surface adjoining the restoration. Histopathologically, basal cell degeneration and a dense band of chronic inflammation of the lamina propria are seen (Figure11.6). These lesions also show deeper

lymphocytic infiltrates, germinal centres and perivascular infiltrates not seen in lichen planus (Figure11.7). Patients may be asymptomatic or present with burning soreness. Symptoms are amplified due to poor oral hygiene and candidal infection. Replacement with plastic restorations results in the resolution of the lesions.
11.2.4.3 Tuberculin- type Hypersensitivity
Tuberculin- type hypersensitivity reaction is seen after an intradermal injection of a purified pro­tein derivative of the tubercle bacillus. Previously exposed (sensitised) individuals develop a firm to hard area of erythematous skin swelling within 48– 72 hours of the injection. Soluble antigens from other organisms, such as Mycobacterium leprae, Bartonella henselae and Leishmania trop­ica, also produce a similar reaction in sensitised individuals. The mechanism involves the activa­tion of memory T- cells that release cytokines and vascular adhesion molecules to recruit leucocytes, monocytes and CD4+ T- cells. This hypersensitivity reaction resolves within a week. Antigen persistence may result in a tuberculin- type hypersensitivity transforming into a granu­lomatous hypersensitivity.
11.2.4.4 Granulomatous Hypersensitivity Reactions
11.2.4.4.1
Oro- facial Granulomatosis (OFG) Granulomatous hypersensitivity reactions result from persistence of an antigen within a macrophage or the tissue. Its histopathological morphology defines it as granulomas consisting of lymphocytes, epithelioid macrophages and multinucleated giant cells. Acentral zone of necrosis may or may not be seen. The antigen is known in diseases such astuberculosis and leprosy and is unknown in sarcoidosis, Crohn’s disease and OFG (Figures 11.8– 11.11). Non- immunological stimuli may also produce granulomatous hypersensitivity reactions. Examples include foreign particulate material that resists digestion, such as talc, non- resorbable suture material, silica and similar particulate substances (Figures 11.12 and11.13). Granulomatous reactions are clinically significant in diseases such as tuberculosis, leprosy, sarcoidosis, Crohn’s disease and OFG.

11.3 Immunodeficiency Disorders
11.3 Immunodeficiency Disorders
Immunodeficiency disorders result from a defect or a combination of defects associated with the immune system. The defect may be specific to the humoral or cell- mediated immune response or be non- specific and related to the function of the complement system, macrophages or innate immunity of leucocytes. Further, immunodeficiency may arise because of secondary factors such as drugs, chronic diseases, malignancies, radiation, nutritional deficiencies and infections such as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). An immunodeficiency state renders the individ­ual prone to infections and certain cancers.
11.3.1 Primary Immunodeficiencies (Intrinsic)
These are immunodeficiencies intrinsic to the non- specific or the specific arm of the immune sys­tem and not in response to extrinsic (secondary) factors.
11.3.1.1 Non- specific Deficiencies
Many inherited defects of the complement system have been described. A deficiency of comple­ment proteins of the classical pathway, including C1q, C1r, C1s, C2, C3 and C4, results in an immune- complex autoimmune- like condition resembling SLE. C2 and C3 deficiency results in bacterial infections caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, while a C5– C9 deficiency and a deficiency of factor D or properdin of the alternate pathway causes invasive infections by Neisseria meningitidis. Regulatory components factor H and factor I deficiencies result in recurrent haemolytic- uraemic syndrome and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.
A deficiency of C1 esterase inhibitor, which is a regulatory component of the classical activation pathway, causes angioedema that results in recurrent and sometimes fatal oedema of the gut, face, oral cavity and upper respiratory tract due to lack of regulation of the kallikrein- kinin system with the uncontrolled release of bradykinin. Deficiency is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait.
Phagocyte defects may be related to either their numbers or their function. Examples of the former include severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) due to a mutation in the neutrophil elastase ELA2 gene, which may also result in cyclic neutropenia with 21- day cycles of fall in neutrophil counts. These mutations risk myelodysplasia and myeloid leukaemia in affected patients. Other examples of neutropenia include SCN associated with mutations of the Wiskott– Aldrich syn­drome (WAS) protein gene WASP and SCN associated with Barth syndrome. Examples of phago- cyte defects related to their function include defects of Toll- like receptors (TLRs), defective production of reactive oxygen species, leucocyte adhesion deficiency (LAD) 1, 2 and 3, defects of interleukin interferon signalling pathway, and defective vesicle and lysosomal fusion. TLRs are membrane molecules that recognise bacterial glycolipids, nucleic acids and lipopolysaccharides. IRAK4 and MYD88 gene mutations result in TLR defects causing severe invasive pyogenic infec­tions, while mutations in UNC93B result in herpes simplex encephalitis. Defects in the nicotina­mide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex due to mutations in several genes that encode components such as gp91 of phagocytes to use oxidative bursts to digest pathogens. This results in the persistence of infec­tions, as in chronic granulomatous diseases. Examples include recurrent severe cutaneous and hepatic infections caused by S. aureus, Serratia marcescens Nocardia and Mycobacteria species, and fungal infections by Candida and Aspergillus species. Three types of LAD are recognised.

LAD1 results from ITGB2 gene mutation with unstable adhesion of leucocytes to the endothelial cells. LAD2 results from mutation of the GDP- fucose transporter with reduced expression of Sialyl- Lewis- X ligand for E- selectin with resultant impaired rolling of leucocytes over the endothelial cells. LAD3 is a result of the mutation of kindlin- 3 with poor integrin signalling. These deficiencies cause severe infections without pus formation, poor wound healing, severe periodontitis and early tooth loss. Macrophage IL- 12 binds to T and NK cells, resulting in the release of IFN- γ. This causes the lysis of a pathogen. Inherited defects of the IL- 12/IFN- γ system are known to cause mycobacterial infections such as those by Mycobacterium avium, Mycobacterium Kansassi, and Listeria, Histoplasma, Salmonella and viruses, especially by Epstein– Barr virus (EBV). Chediak- Higashi syndrome is autosomal recessive impaired cell­mediated cytotoxicity due to mutations in a gene encoding lysosomal trafficking regulator (LYST) involved in the fusion of intracytoplasmic vesicles and lysosomes. This affects neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, NK cells and cytotoxic T- lymphocytes with resultant infections by pyogenic bacteria(6).
11.3.1.2 Specific Deficiencies
Specific immunodeficiencies involve abnormalities of the T- lymphocytes and the B- lymphocytes. Defects in B- lymphocytes and their immunoglobulins result in pyogenic infections by encapsu­lated bacteria. Defects in T- lymphocytes result in opportunistic fungal and viral infections.
B- lymphocyte deficiencies, including antibody deficiencies, cause severe respiratory infections ranging from otitis media to sinusitis and pneumonia. Infections of the skin, urinary tract infec­tions, meningitis and arthritis, viral infections and GI infections by Giardia also occur. Antibody deficiencies depend on B- cell development, maturation and their function. B- lymphocyte defi­ciencies include X- linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), IgA and IgG subclass deficiencies, immunodeficiency with hyper- IgM phenotype (HIGM), hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy and CVID. Defects in intracytoplasmic adaptor molecule B cell linker protein (BLNK) and Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) cause XLA. BTK defects account for 85% of early- onset agammaglobuline­mias, mutations in heavy μ chain gene immunoglobulin heavy constant mu (IGHM) account for 5%, while mutations in BLNK, λ5, Igα and Igβ account for the rest of the cases. In all these cases, a block at the pro- B to the pre- B stage of B- cell differentiation in the bone marrow results in a marked reduction in circulating B- lymphocytes. Enteroviral infections, meningoencephalitis, dermatomy­ositis and mycoplasma infections occur if patients are not treated with replacement immunoglobu­lin therapy. IgA deficiency is the most common primary immunodeficiency, with a prevalence of 1:700worldwide. The majority of patients are asymptomatic, and others suffer recurrent infections and immune- complex (type III) hypersensitivity. Patients with infections tend to demonstrate associated IgG2 deficiency. Mutations in AICDA and UNG genes cause intrinsic defects of class­switch recombination with low IgG, IgA and IgE levels, whereas IgM levels are increased to more than 200 mg/dl. This results in immunodeficiency with HIGM. Patients suffer from repeated pyo­genic infections. Hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy is transient, with low immunoglobulin lev­els for up to two years. Spontaneous normalisation occurs but is variable. Low levels are associated with recurrent upper and lower respiratory tract infections. The persistence of infections beyond two years of age is related to a low number of memory B cells. Common variable immuno defi­ciency disorders (CVIDs) affect adults mainly. They are a group of clinically heterogeneous condi­tions associated with low levels of one or more immunoglobulin isotypes and impaired antibody production in response to infections and vaccines. Patients suffer from upper and lower respiratory tract infections, including pneumonia. Inflammatory bowel disease, other granulomatous lesions and lymphoma have also been recorded in these patients.

11.3 Immunodeficiency Disorders
T- lymphocyte deficiencies result in opportunistic infections. T- cell deficiencies include failure of class II MHC molecule expression on antigen- presenting cells, immunodeficiencies caused by thymic defects, deficiencies associated with other diseases and severe combined immunodefi­ciency (SCID). Development of CD4 T- helper cells is dependent on MHC class II molecules in the thymus. The defect is more common in some parts of the world, such as North Africa, and is char­acterised by CD4lymphopenia. The diagnosis requires the exclusion of other causes of CD4lym­phopenia, such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other T- cell lymphotropic virus infections, and immunosuppressive therapy. The clinical spectrum of diseases includes those caused by cryptococcus neoformans, candida species, Pneumocystis jiroveci and mycobacteria. DiGeorge syndrome (DGS) arises from a defective thymus. It is part of a larger spectrum of defi­ciencies arising from impaired development of the third and fourth pharyngeal arches and pouches. Other associated defects include impaired parathyroidism, heart abnormalities, facial dysmorphisms, feeding difficulty and psychiatric disorders. Deletions of chromosome 22q11 and 10p 13– 14 have been observed. Facial features include hypertelorism, low- set ears, shortened upper lip philtrum, cardiac and aortic defects and neonatal tetany due to parathyroid aplasia. Immunologic deficiencies may be associated with diseases with multisystem manifestations, such as WAS and hereditary ataxia- telangiectasia (AT). WAS is an X- linked condition characterised by mutations in the WASP gene that encodes for haematopoetic cells specific actin cytoskeleton with resultant defects in leucocytes, including T- cells, platelets and thrombocytopenia. Progressively worsening T- cell function results in severe opportunistic infections. AT is an autosomal reces­sive condition. The clinical spectrum of disease includes a wobbly gait (ataxia), ocular telangi­ectasia, increased risk of infections (especially those of the lungs and sinuses) and tumours. Immunodeficiency is associated with a progressive decrease in T- cell counts, T- cell function, and IgA, IgG2 and IgG4 hypogammaglobulinemia. A defect in DNA repair mechanisms may cause an increased incidence of tumours. Severe combined immunodeficiencies are a variable group of dis­orders with defective development and function of both T and B lymphocytes. Adenosine deami­nase deficiency results in impaired survival of T- cell precursors and B- cells with extreme lymphopenia and severe neutropenia. Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency results in more T- cell impairment than B- cell. Patients with SCIDs show infections of bacterial, viral and fungal pathogens early in life. P. jiroveci pneumonia, cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus, respiratory syncytial visrus (RSV) and parainfluenza virus infections of the lungs are common(6).

11.3.2 Secondary Immunodeficiencies
Secondary immunodeficiencies are much more common than primary immunodeficiencies. Theimmune response may be impaired due to factors that are extrinsic to the immune system. These factors alter skin and mucosal barriers, impair phagocytosis and cytotoxicity, result in impaired production and function of immunoglobulins and impact T- helper cell function. Neonates and prematurity are associated with immature innate and adaptive immune responses. Immunosenescence and age- related changes include a decrease in TLR function, chemotaxis, phagocytosis and cytokine production –  thymic involution results in a decrease in T- cells. Malnutrition has wide- ranging effects on the immune system and includes thymic atrophy, reduced cellularity in the spleen, reduced levels of IL- 1, IL- 6, TNF- α and complement system com- ponents. Neutrophil chemotaxis and NK cell cytotoxicity are also reduced, with reduced effector T and circulating B cells. Hyperglycemia reduces neutrophil function and cytokine production. Nephropathies of chronic renal disease associated with proteinuria induce hypogammaglobu­linemia. Drugs, including anti- inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents, protein kinase

inhibitors and biological agents, cause immunosuppression. Used in treating autoimmune disor­ders, malignancies, transplant rejection and graft- versus- host disease, they are directed to act upon immune cells and cytokines. The most widely used among these drugs are corticosteroids that sup­press proinflammatory cytokines and interleukins, tumour necrosis factor- α, interferon- gamma and prostaglandins. They also cause neutropenia and lymphopenia. The result is that patients suf­fer from viral, bacterial and fungal infections and reduced wound healing. Other effects include osteoporosis, diabetes mellitus, cataracts, hypertension, adrenal axis suppression and cushing syndrome. Antiepileptic medications are also known to cause gammaglobulin deficiency. Immunosuppression may also follow extensive trauma, burns and major surgery, including sple­nectomy and thymectomy. Individuals affected by conditions such as trisomy 21 (down syndrome), monosomy XO (Turner syndrome), haematological malignancies, myelofibrosis, aplastic anaemia and cystic fibrosis may also develop immunosuppression. Infections such as HIV, measles, myco­bacterial infections and coronavirus disease also cause immunosuppression. Other extrinsic factors of immune deficiency include UV radiation exposure, high altitude and space travel(7, 8).
11.3.2.1 HIV Infection and AIDS
AIDS was first defined in the 1980s. It is caused by infection with the HIV. Approximately 38mil­lion people are known to be living with this infection, with one million deaths annually. 70% of patients are in Africa. Without antiretroviral chemotherapy, HIV infection progresses to AIDS, which is characterised by malignancies and opportunistic infections causing death. The disease is transmitted sexually, vertically, from infected mothers to their infants and by exchange of contami­nated blood among intravenous drug users.
11.3.2.1.1  Virology andImmunopathogenesis
The HIV is a double- stranded RNA retrovirus. It infects mainly CD4+ helper T- cells. Its genome contains three structural genes: gag, pol and env. Pol protein produces three enzymes: integrase, reverse transcriptase and protease. Protease cleaves the viral proteins, and reverse transcriptase converts the viral RNA into DNA. The integrase permits the incorporation of viral DNA into the CD4+ cell genome and then uses the host cells’ replicative mechanisms to produce more viruses. Entry into the CD4+ cell is facilitated by viral envelope proteins gp120 and gp41. T- cell lymphopenia results from HIV- induced apoptosis, viral cytopathic effect and cytotoxicity to virally infected cells.
11.3.2.1.2  Clinical Syndrome
Several weeks after infection, patients develop flu- like symptoms, including a fever, myalgia, fatigue and headaches. These symptoms correlate with the initial viremia. They subside spontaneously, and the acute phase now transitions into a latency period. The latency period can last 10 years, during which there is a progressive loss of CD4+ cells. There is a lack of signs and symptoms during latency
3
until the CD4+ counts reach below 200 cells/mm
. At this time, viral loads are high, and the patient is now profoundly immunosuppressed, resulting in AIDS. Immunosuppression causes a variety of opportunistic infections and malignancies. The clinical syndrome now includes fever, weight loss, diarrhoea, generalised lymphadenopathy, superficial and deep mycotic infections, protracted viral infections and malignant neoplasms such as Kaposi sarcoma and AIDS- associated EBV lymphoma. Oral lesions of AIDS include human papilloma virus (HPV) venereal warts known as condyloma acuminatum, herpes simplex virus ulcers, aphthous- like ulcers, candidiasis, histoplasmosis, linear gingival erythema, EBV hairy leucoplakia, necrotising periodontitis and stomatitis, Kaposi sarcoma and EBV lymphoma. Infection- related multi- organ disease results in death in the absence of treatment.
