Hyper-IgM syndrome: a case report.
Hyperimmunoglobulin M syndrome is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder. We report a case of a 6-month-old boy who suffered from developmental delays, frequent respiratory tract infection, and unusual fungal and bacterial infection. X-linked hyperimmunoglobulin M syndrome was ultimately diagnosed with decreasing immunoglobulin-G, A, and E (immunoglobulin G = 51.3 mg/dL, immunoglobulin A = 8....
متن کاملHyper IgM Syndrome with low IgM and thrombocytosis: an unusual case of immunodeficiency.
We report a 5 years old male child with low serum IgG, IgA and IgM levels, who presented with recurrent perianal and oral ulcers, intermittent fever, and protracted diarrhea. Despite the lack of typical respiratory symptoms, low serum IgM level and persistent thrombocytosis, an X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (X-HIGM) was considered. Laboratory investigations revealed a diagnosis of hyper-IgM syndr...
متن کاملDefective self-reactive antibody repertoire of serum IgM in patients with hyper-IgM syndrome.
We have analyzed the self-reactive repertoires of IgM and IgG Abs in the serum of 19 patients with hyper-IgM syndrome (HIM) by means of a quantitative immunoblotting technique that allows for a quantitative comparison of Ab repertoires in health and disease by multiparametric statistical analysis. Normal tissue extracts of liver, lung, stomach, and kidney were used as sources of self Ags. Extra...
متن کاملHyper IgM syndrome presenting as chronic suppurative lung disease
The Hyper-immunoglobulin M syndromes (HIGM) are a heterogeneous group of genetic disorders resulting in defects of immunoglobulin class switch recombination. Affected patients show humoral immunodeficiency and high susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Elevated serum IgM levels are the hallmark of the disease, even though in few rare cases they may be in the normal range. Hyper IgM is ass...
متن کاملHyper IgM syndrome with tuberculous osteomyelitis and scrofuloderma.
INDIAN PEDIATRICS 952 VOLUME 42__SEPTEMBER 17, 2005 Hyper IgM syndrome (HIGM) is a rare primary immunodeficiency characterized by low levels of serum IgA and IgG and a normal or increased levels of IgM due to a block in the B cell immunoglobulin switch from IgM to IgG(1). The estimated incidence is approximately 1 in 10,30,000 live births(2). Two types are described X linked hyper IgM (XHIM) an...
