The classic complement pathway plays a role in humoral immunity, whereas the alternative and lectin pathways augment the innate response. Impairment, deficiency, or overactivation of any of the known 50 complement proteins may lead to increased susceptibility to infection with encapsulated organisms, autoimmunity, hereditary angioedema, or thrombosis, depending on the affected protein. Classic pathway defects result from deficiencies of complement proteins C1q, C1r, C1s, C2, and C4, and typically manifest with features of systemic lupus erythematosus and infections with encapsulated organisms. Alternative pathway defects due to deficiencies of factor B, factor D, and properdin may present with increased susceptibility to Neisseria infections. Lectin pathway defects, including Mannose-binding protein-associated serine protease 2 (MASP2) and ficolin 3, may be asymptomatic or lead to pyogenic infections and autoimmunity. Complement protein C3 is common to all pathways, deficiency of which predisposes patients to severe frequent infections and glomerulonephritis. Deficiencies in factor H and factor I, which regulate the alternative pathway, may lead to hemolytic uremic syndrome. Disseminated Neisseria infections result from terminal pathway defects (i.e., C5, C6, C7, C8, and C9). Diagnosis of complement deficiencies involves screening with functional assays (i.e., total complement activity [CH50], alternative complement pathway activity [AH50], enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay [ELISA]) followed by measurement of individual complement factors by immunoassay. Management of complement deficiencies requires a comprehensive and individualized approach with special attention to vaccination against encapsulated bacteria, consideration of prophylactic antibiotics, treatment of comorbid autoimmunity, and close surveillance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2500\/aap.2024.45.240050","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,19]],"date-time":"2024-09-19T04:31:59Z","timestamp":1726720319000},"page":"305-309","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Immunodeficiency: Complement disorders"],"prefix":"10.2500","volume":"45","author":[{"given":"Jeremy C.","family":"McMurray","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Allergy and Immunology Service, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brandon J.","family":"Schornack","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Allergy and Immunology Service, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew L.","family":"Weskamp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Allergy and Immunology Service, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katherine J.","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Allergy and Immunology Service, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua D.","family":"Pollock","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Allergy and Immunology Service, Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"W.
