U01.17.037 Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (Type I)
Study this flashcard to identify the molecular defect, immune mechanism, and clinical features of Leukocyte Adhesion Deficiency (Type I). Recall how a CD18 (integrin) defect impairs leukocyte migration and chemotaxis, leading to recurrent bacterial infections, delayed wound healing, and absence of pus formation.
