Leucocyte adhesion deficiencies are inherited disorders characterised by immunodeficiency leading to recurrent infections and a marked leucocytosis. We describe the clinical characteristics... dog was investigated for pyrexia, persistent leucocytosis, marked periodontal disease, lameness, increased mucosal haemorrhages and poor wound healing. Numerous diagnostics were performed including a leucocyte adhesion deficiency III PCR test, which was positive... Leucocyte adhesion deficiency III is a rare disorder that manifests because of impaired activation of beta integrins. This results in an absence of neutrophil chemotaxis and adhesion, and platelet dysfunction... (From Hugo and Heading, 2014)
