Was the patient's arthritis consistent with infection?

We reported a 12yo boy with XLA and recurrent painful swelling of his left knee.  During each of the first 5 episodes synovial fluid cultures (including specific growth media for mycoplasma and ureaplasma) were negative.  A search for other potential causes revealed positivity for HLA-B27.  Subsequent episodes were treated effectively with naproxen alone, and a diagnosis of XLA with enthesitis-related arthritis was made. These episodes ended when the family trampoline was dismantled.

As we reported, patients with XLA are very susceptible to mycoplasma, not the usual like M. pneumoniae but Urealyticum and others and may require intense antibiotics given susceptibility studies

Dear Colleagues,



I have a now 5 year old young man with XLA.  He originally had a history of recurrent OM and C.diff as well as occasional neutropenia.  He was referred for right knee swelling suggestive of JIA.   Based on his history additional studies documented data diagnostic of XLA.  No B cells.  Pan-hypogammaglobulinemia.  BTK expression studies and genetic analyses were done as well.  A hemizygous variant in BTK was documented.  I placed him on Hizentra and he has done wonderfully.  His arthritis also seemed to get better - he also had some corticosteroid injections.  More recently, he has developed a more significant flare of his JIA - more joints (wrists, knee, ankle, etc.).  We were going to use a anti-TNF agent (e.g. Humira or Enbrel).   I was wondering if anyone has any words of wisdom / caution in this setting given the risk of enterovirus issues, neutropenia....   any other suggested agents that would be excellent.



Thanks as always!



Dave
