Kandidos, kronisk mukokutan
Ett kliniskt syndrom som oftast börjar i barndomen med kronisk, utbredd kandidos i hud, naglar och slemhinnor. Det kan uppträda sekundärt i fall av någon immunbristsjukdom, ärftligt som en autosomal recessiv åkomma, eller i samband med brister i den cellförmedlade immuniteten, med endokrina rubbningar, dental stomatit eller malignitet.

Kandidos
Infektionssjukdom orsakad av svampar av släktet Candida, vanligen Candida albicans. Infektionen uppträder oftast ytligt på fuktiga kroppsdelar.

Encellig, knoppande svamp som är den huvudsakliga orsaken till kandidos (candidiasis).

Candidiasis, Invasive
Invasive candidiasis is a serious and potentially life-threatening fungal infection caused by the Candida species, which typically affects the bloodstream and internal organs. It occurs when Candida fungi invade deep into the body tissues, beyond the mucosal surfaces of the gastrointestinal or genitourinary tracts. This type of candidiasis is more common in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those undergoing chemotherapy, organ transplantation, or HIV/AIDS treatment, and can also be associated with the use of invasive medical devices like catheters. Symptoms may include fever, chills, hypotension, and organ dysfunction, requiring prompt diagnosis and antifungal therapy to prevent severe complications and improve outcomes.

Job Syndrome
Job Syndrome, også kendt som Hyper-IgE syndrom, er en meget sjælden genetisk sygdom karakteriseret ved høje niveauer af immunglobulin E (IgE) i blodet, gentagne infektioner, specielt af huden og luftvejene, og abnormiteter i knogler og tænder. Symptomerne optræder typisk i barndommen. Job Syndrome er en livslang sygdom, men behandling kan hjælpe med at kontrollere infektioner og forebygge komplikationer.
Hyper-IgM syndrom, typ 1
Hyper-IgM syndrome type 1 (HIGM1) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by normal or elevated levels of IgM but significantly reduced levels of IgG, IgA, and IgE. It is caused by mutations in the CD40 ligand gene (CD40L), which is essential for the activation and differentiation of B cells into plasma cells that produce IgG, IgA, and IgE. The lack of functional CD40L results in an impaired immune response to infections, particularly those caused by encapsulated bacteria and certain intracellular pathogens. Individuals with HIGM1 are also at increased risk for developing autoimmune disorders and malignancies.
Angioedemas, Hereditary
Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of swelling (angioedema) in various parts of the body, including the hands, feet, limbs, face, lips, tongue, larynx (voicebox), and gastrointestinal tract. The swelling can be painful and disfiguring, and in severe cases, it can obstruct the airways and become life-threatening.
