COMPLEMENT COMPONENT 8 DEFICIENCY, TYPE II; C8D2
Alternate names
COMPLEMENT COMPONENT 8 DEFICIENCY, TYPE II; C8D2 Is also known as c8b deficiency, complement component 8b deficiency, c8 beta deficiency, c8 deficiency, type ii
Description
Patients with deficiency of C8 suffer from recurrent neisserial infections, predominantly with meningococcus infection of rare serotypes. Most such patients are discovered among those having their first episode of meningitis at ages older than 10 years (Ross and Densen, 1984).Two types of inherited C8 deficiency have been reported in man: type I (OMIM ), in which only C8 alpha (C8A, {120950}) and C8 gamma (C8G ) are deficient, and type II, in which only C8 beta is deficient (Marcus et al., 1982; Tedesco et al., 1983). The 2 types are clinically indistinguishable (Ross and Densen, 1984).
Most common symptoms of COMPLEMENT COMPONENT 8 DEFICIENCY, TYPE II; C8D2
- Arthritis
- Meningitis
- Antinuclear antibody positivity
- C8 deficiency
- Recurrent Neisserial infections

IMMUNODEFICIENCY DUE TO A LATE COMPONENT OF COMPLEMENT DEFICIENCY
Alternate names
IMMUNODEFICIENCY DUE TO A LATE COMPONENT OF COMPLEMENT DEFICIENCY Is also known as immunodeficiency due to c5 to c9 component complement deficiency, terminal complement pathway deficiency
Description
Immunodeficiency due to a late component of complement deficiency is a primary immunodeficiency due to an anomaly in either complement components C5, C6, C7, C8 or C9 and is typically characterized by meningitis due to often recurrent meningococcal infections. The prognosis is generally favorable.
