Thanks, Dr.Sokolic, Dr.Yu, and Dr.Grimbacher for the comments. Would
proceed with the mediastinoscopy for a core biopsy to rule out a neoplasm.
Also, he needs a genetic diagnosis for his condition.
ICOS expression by flow cytometry in this patient is much lower when
compared to control. Any significance for this?
