[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] HYPERgammaglobulinemia

[Markus G Seidel, Priv.-Doz.Dr.]

consider ataxia teleang. (even before other features, check AFP) or nijmegen breakage syndrome (head circumference?, T cell proliferation),
I would suggest to do immune electrophoreses even in the young child, monitor ESR, exclude chronic (viral?) infections, lymphoma.

> I have been seeing a 5 year old boy for recurrent infections, mostly respiratory.  He has asthma, so some of his recurrent pneumonias may be asthma, but some outside CXRs show consolidation suggestive of true pneumonia.  Initial workup one year ago was normal, except for an IgG of 1800.  I saw him back six months later and repeated it and it was 2600.  I brought him back six months later and today it is 3000 (normal 386-1470).  He has normal T and B cell subsets, negative HIV antibody, normal IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE.  Normal UA.  Normal sweat chloride. Normal ACE.
