Sounds like atypical digeorge syndrome.  See Louise markerts paper.

He was admitted initially for rhinovirus and required ventilatory support about one month ago, then developed daily fevers and noted to have the progressive rash and eosinophilia.  He is rhinovirus free now but quickly outgrowing his shunt and requiring oxygen.  He has normal number of B cells, slight T cell lymphocytosis, normal immunoglobulins except for high IgE, and low response to Con A using 3H-thymidine but normal response to PHA and pokeweed.  He had no response to diptheria, tetanus, or pneumococcal vaccine.  He had essentially normal bone marrow biopsy with trilineage hematopoiesis, no overt dysplasia and negative FISH for PDGFRB.  He was negative for maternal cells in identity study.  Skin biopsy revealed Epidermal acanthosis and mixed dermal

This result is not diagnostic of a specific condition, but raises the possibility of a recessive disorder for which the causative gene is located within these regions. We recommend genetic counseling for the parents of this patient. Regions of homozygosity are listed below.

>  T cell phenotyping was sent to Mayo lab and revealed total CD4 lymphocytosis. Practically all the T cells in the blood were in the memory T cell subsets with complete absence of naive CD4+ and CD8+ T cells. Almost all the T cells are the activated phenotype, expressing MHC class II-Hla DR. 99% CD4+CD45RO+ memory T cells with no naive T cells.

He has phenotypic features of both DiGeorge syndrome (TOF, unilateral renal agenesis, choledochal cyst) and Omenn syndrome(rash, splenomegaly, high IgE, eosinophilia, no naive T cells).  So the question is does he have Omenn syndrome and how could I differentiate that from an atypical DiGeorge?  Would he require a thymus transplant, bone marrow transplant, or neither?
