Immunodeficiency Diseases Caused by Defects in Phagocytes

Lekstrom-Himes, Julie A., Gallin, John I.·2000·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Primary phagocytic defects must be included in the differential diagnosis of recurrent infection and fever in a child and occasionally in an adult. Early diagnosis is essential, because manifestations of infection are usually blunted and rapid intervention can be lifesaving. In general, patients are identified at a young age on the basis of their susceptibility to normally nonpathogenic bacteria or fungi. In some cases, the infectious agents point to the disorder (Table 1): catalase-positive microorganisms and aspergillosis species are characteristic of chronic granulomatous disease,1 and atypical mycobacteria suggest a defect in the interferon-γ–interleukin-12 axis.2 These bacterial infections contrast with the . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
