| simian acquired immunodeficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Acquired defect of cellular immunity that occurs naturally in macaques infected with srv serotypes, experimentally in monkeys inoculated with srv or mason-pfiser monkey virus (mpmv), or in monkeys infected with siv. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| simian immunodeficiency virus | <virology> A retrovirus found in monkeys that is closely related to HIV. (09 Oct 1997) |
| immunodeficiency | Inabillity to mount a normal immune response. Immunodeficiency can be due to a genetic disease or acquired as in aids due to HIV. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunodeficiency disorders | <radiology> B-cell (antibody) deficiency: high-grade pathogens: pneumococcus, strep, H. Flu, chronic sinopulmonary disease, usual survival to adulthood, T-cell (cellular) deficiency: low-grade pathogens: fungi, viruses, Pneumocystic, growth retardation, diarrhoea, delayed anergy, short life-span, susceptible to graft vs. Host (GvH) disease, e.g.: DiGeorge syndrome, Nezelhof syndrome Note: increased risk of malignancy (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunodeficiency syndrome | <syndrome> An immunological deficiency or disorder, of which the chief symptom is an increased susceptibility to infection, the pattern of susceptibility being dependent upon the kind of deficiency. See: immunodeficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunodeficiency virus, bovine | A species of lentivirus, subgenus bovine lentiviruses (lentiviruses, bovine), found in cattle and causing lymphadenopathy, lymphocytosis, central nervous system lesions, progressive weakness, and emaciation. It has immunological cross-reactivity with other lentiviruses including HIV. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunodeficiency virus, feline | A species of lentivirus, subgenus feline lentiviruses (lentiviruses, feline) isolated from cats with a chronic wasting syndrome, presumed to be immune deficiency. There is no antigenic relationship between fiv and HIV, nor does fiv grow in human T-cells. (12 Dec 1998) |
| immunodeficiency with elevated IgM | Immunodeficiency with reduced IgG and IgA-bearing cells; there is recurrent pyogenic infection; X-linked in some families. (05 Mar 2000) |
| immunodeficiency with hypoparathyroidism | diGeorge syndrome |
| feline acquired immunodeficiency syndrome | <syndrome> Acquired defect of cellular immunity that occurs in cats infected with feline immunodeficiency virus (fiv) and in some cats infected with feline leukaemia virus (felv). (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline immunodeficiency virus | A lentivirus causing acquired immunodeficiency in cats. (05 Mar 2000) |
