ClassificationThis section has been translated automatically.
3 clinical forms are distinguished:
- Early onset - classic ADA deficiency (80% of cases): predominant manifestation in the first 3 months of life.ADA activity < 0.01%, clinically associated with skeletal malformations, renal and neurological disorders, hearing loss.
- Delayed onset (15% of cases): manifestation in 1.-2,LJ; ADA activity 1-2%.
- Late onset (5% of cases): manifestation in the 3rd-15th year of life. ADA activity in 3-5%; recurrent or persistent HSV infections, sinubronchial bacterial infections, autoimmune diseases.
DiagnosisThis section has been translated automatically.
Evidence of ADA deficiency, T cells and B cells reduced, an indication may be given by unexplained deaths in the first year of life in the family.
