Adenosine deaminase-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency (ADA-SCID) is characterized by impaired T-, B- and NK-cell function. Affected children, in addition to early onset of infections, manifest non-immunologic symptoms including pulmonary dysfunction likely attributable to elevated systemic adenosine levels. Lung disease assessment has primarily employed repetitive radiography and effort-dependent functional studies. Through impulse oscillometry (IOS), which is effort-independent, we prospectively obtained objective measures of lung dysfunction in 10 children with ADA-SCID. These results support the use of IOS in the identification and monitoring of lung function abnormalities in children with primary immunodeficiencies.
腺苷脱氨酶缺乏的重症联合免疫缺陷病(ADA-SCID)的特征是T细胞、B细胞和NK细胞功能受损。患病儿童除了早期出现感染外,还表现出非免疫性症状,包括可能归因于全身腺苷水平升高的肺功能障碍。肺部疾病评估主要采用重复X线摄影和依赖用力的功能研究。通过独立于用力的脉冲振荡法(IOS),我们前瞻性地获得了10例ADA-SCID患儿肺功能障碍的客观指标。这些结果支持将IOS用于原发性免疫缺陷患儿肺功能异常的识别和监测。
