I have cared for two XLA patients with Echo 11 encephalitis. The first presented as a child and was treated with intraventricular IgG with an Ommaya Reservoir until he developed obstruction and a lumbar reservoir was added. This was 30 years ago and he was failing moderate dose IGIV. The second presented as an asymptomatic adult and, based on the first experience a Reservoir was placed but he had a bleed with the first dose and was then treated IV. We were able to clear Echo from the spinal fluid in both patients. If I saw such a patient today, I would probably start with 1g/kg/w until there was a response. The second patient had done well on 500mg/kg every other week and self weaned to every three weeks and developed encephalopathy and seizure so we never actually cleared him even though he was PCR negative.

Hello,

I am currently caring for a 4 year-old boy with XLA who over the past year has had progressive neurological deterioration including loss of developmental milestones (no longer walking/talking).  Suspected etiology has been enterovirus but prior testing has been negative (CSF, blood, urine).  CSF has had elevated protein.  Has abnormal MIR results showing progressive cerebral and cerebellar volume loss, subdural hemorrhages.



Had a brain biopsy yesterday that finally confirmed Enterovirus.  Besides Pocapavir (already exploring this option), has anyone had any other treatment strategies.  He has been therapeutic with Hizentra in past but has been receiving higher doses of IVIg.  Has anyone used IVIg daily in these patients with success?



And has anyone used Pocapavir in such a patient with chronic infection?



Thank you!

Laura
