[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Enterovirus infection

[CIS-PIDD]

Dear All:  Would like your opinion on a now-12 month old girl who was seen a month ago with enterovirus meningitis.

She was a full term baby with no neonatal problems.   At 6 months of age she began attending day care and since then she has had recurrent episodes of nasal congestion associated with some fever. In between these infections she is well and has continued to grow and develop appropriately.
At the end of December the family was in Punta Cana Resort in the Dominican Republic. She had a persistent fever on New Year's Eve which did not respond to anti-ppyretics. She was brought to her pediatrician when they arrived home the next day. A vesicular rash on her hands, feet, knees and in her mouth was noted and Coxackie virus was diagnosed clinically. She had fluid in her ears and was given Cefdinir for an otitis at that visit. This appeared to resolve.

Two weeks later she again was febrile to 103F and did not defervesce with anti-pyretic agents. She was then noted to have a staring spell and would not respond to external stimuli. She was sent to the HUMC ER and was felt to have signs of seizures and symptoms of meningitis. An LP was done which indicated meningitis with 905 WBC, 50% PMN, 46% Monocytes, 4% Lymphocytes  . Coxackie was identified in CSF.  CT and MRI only indicated mild mucosal thickening in the paranasal sinuses.

Labs done in hospital: Normal CBC and diff, IgA 36 mg/dl, IgM 46, IgG low at 260 mg/dL, IgE 16
ALC 6693, 30% atypical
CD3 5555
CD4 3079
CD 8 2476
CD 56 slightly low at 134 (nl 160-950)
CD19 1071

TLR were sent to ARUP.  She responded to all ligands except Poly I:C, which corresponds to low TLR3.   As I understand it, this is associated, in mouse models at least, with susceptibility to Herpes virus, she had an enterovirus.

I am trying to get them to come back for follow up, but would love everyone’s opinion as to the abnormal TRL function test.
