An immunodeficiency state characterized (usually) by profoundly low concentrations of serum immunoglobulins of all classes, although occasionally significant amounts of one or more isotypes can be found. The fundamental defect in XLA affects early lineage B cells. 279.04 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.04 contains 7 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.05 Immunodeficiency with increased igm 279.05 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.05 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.06 Common variable immunodeficiency An immunologic deficiency state characterized by selective deficiencies of one or more, but not all, classes of immunoglobulins. Heterogeneous group of immunodeficiency syndromes characterized by hypogammaglobulinemia of most isotypes, variable B-cell defects, and the presence of recurrent bacterial infections. 279.06 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.06 contains 10 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.09 Other deficiency of humoral immunity 279.09 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.09 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.1 Deficiency of cell-mediated immunity 279.1 is a non-specific code that cannot be used to specify a diagnosis ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.10 Immunodeficiency with predominant t-cell defect unspecified 279.10 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.10 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.11 Digeorge's syndrome a congenital anomaly characterized by immunodeficiency, abnormal facies, congenital heart disease, hypocalcemia, and increased susceptibility to infections. Pathologic characteristics include conotruncal abnormalities and absence or hypoplasia of thymus and parathyroid glands. DiGeorge syndrome is associated with abnormalities of chromosome 22. Also known as DiGeorge anomaly. --2004 A developmental defect of derivatives of the third and fourth pharyngeal pouches, almost always associated with agenesis or hypoplasia of the thymus and parathyroid gland, characteristic facies with downslanting palpebral fissures and ocular and nasal anomalies, hypocalcemia, cardiovascular anomalies, immunodeficiency, and other variable abnormalities. Patients who survive infancy are usually mentally retarded. DiGeorge syndrome is considered by some researchers as a developmental field defect consisting of several casually distinct disorders, rather than a distinct syndromic entity. Conditions associated with the development of DiGeorge syndrome include diabetic embryopathy, fetal alcohol syndrome, and Zellweger syndrome. Major features of this syndrome have been designated by the Newcastle Upon Tyne Group CATCH 22 (Cardiac, Abnormal facies, Thymic hypoplasia, Cleft palate, and Hypocalcemia), the number 22 indicating deletion of the long arm of chromosome 22 (22q11). Branchial arch defects with craniofacial abnormalities, hearing loss, short stature, and learning difficulty. Congenital syndrome with the absence of the thymus and parathyroids causing impairment of cellular immunity. Immunoglobulin levels are normal. 279.11 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.11 contains 5 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.12 Wiskott-aldrich syndrome A rare, X-linked immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by eczema, thrombocytopenia, and recurrent pyogenic infection. It is seen exclusively in young boys. Typically, IgM levels are low and IgA and IgE levels are elevated. Lymphoreticular malignancies are common. A rare, X-linked immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by eczema, thrombocytopenic purpura, and recurrent pyogenic infection. It is seen exclusively in young boys. Typically, IMMUNOGLOBULIN M levels are low and IMMUNOGLOBULIN A and IMMUNOGLOBULIN E levels are elevated. Lymphoreticular malignancies are common. 279.12 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.12 contains 8 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.13 Nezelof's syndrome 279.13 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.13 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.19 Other deficiency of cell-mediated immunity 279.19 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.19 contains 1 index entry ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.2 Combined immunity deficiency Group of rare congenital disorders characterized by impairment of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels. It is inherited as an X-linked or autosomal recessive defect. About half of the patients with autosomal recessive SCID are deficient in the enzyme adenosine deaminase. Rare congenital disorder inherited as an X-linked defect characterized by impairment of both humoral and cell-mediated immunity, leukopenia, and low or absent antibody levels. X-linked or autosomal recessive disorder characterized by defects of both humoral and cell mediated immunity, resulting in low or absent antibody levels, leukopenia, marked susceptibility to infections, and early death.--2004 279.2 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.2 contains 21 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.3 Unspecified immunity deficiency Syndromes in which there is a deficiency or defect in the mechanisms of immunity, either cellular or humoral. The decreased ability of the body to fight infection and disease. The inability of the body to produce an immune response. 279.3 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.3 contains 2 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.4 Autoimmune disease not elsewhere classified A condition in which the body recognizes its own tissues as foreign and directs an immune response against them. A disorder resulting from loss of function or tissue destruction of an organ or multiple organs, arising from humoral or cellular immune responses of the individual to his own tissue constituents. It may be systemic (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus), or organ specific, (e.g., thyroiditis). -- 2003 Disorders that are characterized by the production of antibodies that react with host tissues or immune effector cells that are autoreactive to endogenous peptides. 279.4 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.4 contains 4 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.8 Other specified disorders involving the immune mechanism 279.8 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.8 contains 6 index entries ICD-9-CM Diagnosis 279.9 Unspecified disorder of immune mechanism 279.9 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis 279.9 contains 2 index entries
