Thank you! 
HIGE score is 25. Nothing particularly relevant in family history, no developmental delay and no signs of vasculitis or chronic viremias.
Anyhow PGM3 is a good suggestion. Can you suggest any center that can sequence the gene on a research basis?

Thanks

Ossiuriasis was diagnosed and a proper treatment was done. Specific IgE were anyhow negative. Functional respiratory test revealed broncho-obstruction/asthma and a proper treatment was initiated.

We can test only anti-tetanus specific Ab response, which is normal.
