X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome with eosinophilia in a male child: A case report
The hyper-IgM syndromes (HIGMs) are a group of primary immune deficiency diseases characterized by a normal or elevated serum level of IgM and low or absent serum levels of IgG, IgA and IgE. Here, we report a case of X-linked HIGM with a new CD40L gene mutation presenting with eosinophilia. The patient experienced recurrent pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) from 4 months ...
متن کاملA delayed diagnosis of X-linked hyper IgM syndrome complicated with toxoplasmic encephalitis in a child
INTRODUCTION The X-linked hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome (XHIGM) is an uncommon primary combined immunodeficiency disease caused by CD40L gene mutations. A delayed or missed diagnosis of XHIGM is common and concerning, owing to atypical immunoglobulin profile and phenotype of some patients, low recognition, and limited knowledge of clinicians on XHIGM in some underdeveloped areas. Opportunisti...
متن کاملA transcriptional defect underlies B lymphocyte dysfunction in a patient diagnosed with non-X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.
To establish the underlying cause of hyper-IgM syndrome in one female patient, B cell function was examined in response to CD40- and IL-4-mediated pathways. When CD40-induced functional responses were measured in unfractionated B cells, CD80 up-regulation, de novo Cmu-Cgamma recombination, and Igamma transcription were all found to be relatively unaffected. However, CD40- and IL-4-mediated CD23...
متن کاملPartial immune reconstitution of X-linked hyper IgM syndrome with recombinant CD40 ligand.
X-linked hyper IgM syndrome (XHM) is a combined immune deficiency disorder caused by genetic alterations in CD40 ligand. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficacy of recombinant CD40 ligand (rCD40L) in the treatment of the disease. Three children were administered rCD40L subcutaneously 3 times per week at 0.03 mg/kg for 22 weeks, and after a 12-week drug-free interval...
متن کاملClinical and genetic analysis of patients with X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome.
To the Editor : Hyper-immunoglobulin M (IgM) syndromes are characterized by the presence of recurrent infections, low levels of IgG and IgA, and normal to high levels of IgM. The X-linked hyper-IgM (X-HIGM) syndrome is the most frequently observed subtype of hyperIgM syndromes (65–70%) and results from defects in the CD40L gene, which encodes for the CD40 ligand (CD154) (1–3). In this study, a ...
