CONT

Complement deficiency and immune complex disease. Immune complex diseases closely resembling systemic lupus erythematosus are predominantly associated with deficiencies of classical pathway components.

OBS

Deficiency of a component of the complement system can lead to frequent infection and, interestingly, autoimmune disease. C1Q, C1R, C1S, C2, C4 and C5 deficiencies have been described with susceptibility for infection and autoimmune disease.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Déficit en complément. [...] Quand il existe un déficit en C2, l'incidence du lupus érythémateux disséminé est plus forte.

OBS

Des cas de déficits ont été observés pour tous les composants du complément (hormis pour le D et le C4bp). Les plus importants sont les déficits en composants de la voie classique du fait de leur association à des manifestations auto-immunes [...] et le déficit en CI-inh responsable de l'oedème angioneurotique, maladie grave et curable.
