The diagram at the right portrays the many areas of the body where these specialized cells exist. Working together, the cells that make up your immune system must recognize and react to foreign substances such as viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi.

Extractions: The pneumococcal bacterium (also called Streptococcus pneumoniae ) is responsible for many respiratory infections in the upper and lower airways. This bacterium is dangerous for people with serious underlying chronic medical conditions and illnesses and is the leading cause of ear infections and sinusitis in children. Its most serious infection is pneumonia. Community-acquired pneumonia is the most common type and develops outside of the hospital. Each year between two and four million people in the US develop community-acquired pneumonia, and 600,000 people are hospitalized because of it. Although the majority of pneumonias respond well to treatment, the infection can still be a very serious problem. Together with influenza, pneumonia is the sixth leading cause of death in the US and is the leading cause of deaths from infection. Of particular concern is the increasing prevalence of pneumococcal bacteria that are resistant to many standard antibiotics. This has created a great sense of urgency in the medical community to find effective measures for preventing infection. Pneumococcal vaccines contain material derived from the most common strains of pneumococci bacteria. (There are no living bacteria in the vaccine.) There are two effective vaccines available, one called a 23-valent polysaccharide vaccine for adults and a 7-valent conjugate vaccine (Prevnar or PCV7) for young children. Both vaccines are effective and becoming very important, particularly in light of the increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

http://www.thebody.com/step/immune.html

Extractions: A Fact Sheet from the Seattle Treatment Education Project The immune system is composed of many interdependent cell types that collectively protect the body from bacterial, parasitic, fungal, viral infections and from the growth of tumor cells. Many of these cell types have specialized functions. The cells of the immune system can engulf bacteria, kill parasites or tumor cells, or kill viral-infected cells. Often, these cells depend on the T helper subset for activation signals in the form of secretions formally known as cytokines, lymphokines, or more specifically interleukins. The purpose of this article is to review the organs, cell types and interactions between cells of the immune system as a commentary on their importance and interdependence on the T helper subset. Such an understanding may help comprehend the root of immune deficiencies, and perceive potential avenues that the immune system can be modulated in the case of specific diseases. Bone Marrow All the cells of the immune system are initially derived from the bone marrow. They form through a process called hematopoiesis. During hematopoiesis, bone marrow-derived stem cells differentiate into either mature cells of the immune system or into precursors of cells that migrate out of the bone marrow to continue their maturation elsewhere. The bone marrow produces B cells, natural killer cells, granulocytes and immature thymocytes, in addition to red blood cells and platelets.
IDF Press Release
the Bubble Boy movie was organized by the Immune Deficiency Foundation, a support,information, and advocacy group for people with Primary immune deficiencies.
http://www.immunecenter.org/Reactions/reactions.html

Extractions: Yes, there really was a "Boy in the Bubble." He was born with X-linked Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), the most severe of a group of more than 80 little-known but serious genetic diseases of the immune system. Known as primary immune deficiencies, these diseases are characterized by defects or malfunctions causing increased susceptibility to recurrent illnesses and potentially life-threatening infections. Living in a germ-free protected environment his entire life until his untimely death at age 12 in 1984 from complications following a promising experimental treatment, valiant young David Vetter was a far cry from the cartoonish figure Disney presents. According to Carol Ann Demaret, David's mother and a member of the Board of Trustees of the Immune Deficiency Foundation (IDF), a nationwide patient advocacy group, "The notion of making a comedy about a life-threatening disease is, in and of itself, a travesty. It makes a mockery of humanity. It dishonors the memory of my son, David, and is an insult to every primary immune deficient patient." "Patients and families with primary immune deficiency diseases face serious difficulties in getting accurate diagnosis and proper treatment. Altogether, there are approximately 50,000 individuals diagnosed in the United States. These brave patients and their families face a number of other problems, including blood product shortages interrupting treatments with intravenous immune globulin (IGIV), a constant threat of infections, and a myriad of insurance issues surrounding costly medical therapies. There is nothing funny about living with a potentially life-threatening genetic disease, and it is irresponsible and reprehensible of Disney to have proceeded with the making of this film."

http://www.alphather.com/patients/patients_products_immune.asp

Extractions: While you are researching the many different options for treatment, we want you to remember that all health information should be discussed with your doctor. It is important to note that all medical treatments have risk associated with them and your doctor will be the best source for determining which treatment option is best for you. Immune Globulin (also called IGIV) products help patients with compromised immune systems stay healthy. A healthy immune system is necessary to enable the body to resist foreign substances or infections. A functioning immune system responds to a viral or bacterial attack by producing antibodies. Without those antibodies, even a minor infection can take a serious toll. Regular intravenous infusions of immune globulin replace those missing antibodies. This therapy is designed for primary immunodeficiencies (PID), which can be present at birth. Alpha Therapeutic immune globulin, Venoglobulin -S, is also indicated for treatment of Kawasaki disease and idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).

Primary Immune Deficiency, NIAID Fact Sheet

http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/pid.htm

Extractions: More Information When people are born with a faulty immune system, they are said to have a primary immune deficiency or immunodeficiency. Unlike people with AIDS, caused by the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV, people with primary immunodeficiency (PI) diseases have inherited abnormal changes in the cells of their immune systems . Between 25,000 and 50,000 people suffer from the most serious forms of PI diseases in the United States, but experts believe that many more have milder disease that is not yet diagnosed. Each type of immune system cell has its own special function and must work together with other types to fight disease effectively. Because there are many different types of cells that make up the immune system, an error in any one of them can disrupt our immune defenses. Depending on the cell and the type of error that occurs, more than 80 different forms of PI diseases are possible. Some are severe, while others cause few or no symptoms. Having any of them makes it easier to get infections and other medical conditions. More boys than girls have PI, and first symptoms often begin in infancy or later in childhood. Primary care doctors who suspect a patient has a problem with the immune system will run screening tests. If those tests indicate the person's immune system is not functioning normally, the doctor will consult with a special kind of doctor called a clinical immunologist. The immunologist can run special blood tests to find out the exact type of PI disease and how best to treat it. Other experts the doctor may consult include pulmonologists, rheumatologists, gastroenterologists, and hematologists.
