[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Question from Juan Carlos Aldave

Dr Aldave

Stat5b should have growth changes from birth. Also¡­IGF1 and IGFBP3 should be low, prolactin should be high. From what you have listed¡­this isn¡¯t STAT5b. I think Dr Risma is on target with her assessment. Guess the growth failure is from inflammation and renal disease. Below is a reference that sounds fairly similar

Abstract
This report documents the clinicopathological features in two Jamaican children who presented with infective dermatitis, glomerulonephritis, renal failure and human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-1) seropositivity. Severe hypertension with hypertensive encephalopathy was the most impressive clinical feature. Histological findings from renal biopsy specimens in both cases revealed significant glomerulosclerosis with fibrosis, chronic inflammatory cell infiltrates in the interstitium, and arteriolar hypertensive changes. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) was demonstrable in case 1 and marked focal glomerulosclerosis in case 2. Case 1 developed end stage renal failure and died within 3 years of diagnosis. Case 2 remains hypertensive and in chronic renal failure. Although a causal relationship between HTLV-1 infection and renal disease cannot be proven by these two cases, it appears that renal involvement in children with HTLV-1 infection is severe, with the potential for chronic renal failure and malignant hypertension. HTLV-1 nephropathy should be suspected in children with infective dermatitis and renal disease.

Dear professors,
Thank you for your kind suggestions.
- Dr. Borzutzky, I have also thought of STAT5b deficiency, I wonder if clinical manifestations can present at 9 years of age (before that age the patient was apparently totally healthy, including body growth). Can I send you a sample for STAT5b sequencing?
- Dr. Risma, I would be glad to know if you performed any genetic testing for an underlying PID, and what was the clinical course of your patient's disease. I do not think that the severe growth arrest is due only to systemic inflammation. I would appretiate your suggestions about therapy.
- Dr. Sokolic, I also think that the eosinophilia is secondary. The flow citometry result did not report if the CD8+CD45RO+ T cells were DR+. I will discuss with the caring physicians about performing a liver or lymph node biopsy.

I will keep you updated,
Sincerely,

> With hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, HTLV-1 positivity, and a preponderance of CD4+CD45RO+ and HLA-DR+ T-cells, I would want to rule out chronic or smoldering ATLL. In this case, the eosinophilia would be secondary. Are the CD4+CD45RO+ cells also DR+? Would biopsy a LN or liver. ATLL wouldn't explain growth hormone insensitivity, so it might not all fit together, but I think biopsy is indicated in any case.

> Dear professors,

> I evaluated this week a 16 yr-old boy with a very puzzling clinical picture. I describe below the clinical history.

>

> The main features are:

> - HTLV-1¨Cinduced infective dermatitis

> - Deep skin ulcer infected by Pseudomona aeruginosa and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

> - Immune abnormalities: low naive CD4+ T cells, marked T-cell activation, low B-cell counts, marked eosinophilia

> - Arrest of body growth and sexual development: insensitivity to growth hormone? (low GH, high IGF-1)

> - Anemia, hepatosplenomegaly

> - Marked hypoalbuminemia

>

> I would appreciate your expert insights and suggestions.

> Thank you very much.
