[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] Adult CVID, Recurrent Shingles

Wed Apr 26 09:56:22 EDT 2017

Hi Joe,

Personally I think that H zoster is very (very)  rare in CVID pts on Ig therapy; my first impulse is to validate it with cultures.

Hi Joe,

I have not attempted, but most of these are in general HSV-1 recurrent whitlow, HSV-2 buttock/lower back lesions - or other similar site often in typical locations

Most of the breakthroughs are in HSV caused by
- either patient forgetting to take the medication regularly or
- by a temporal drug resistant mutant clone which however has a lesser fit for host and thus does not recur and does not establish dormancy in the ganglia.

So
- a single breakthrough: do nothing, emphasize regularity of medication
- recurrent breakthroughs: establish dg and if HSV, is the dose of valaciclovir large enough (up to 3g/daily)?
- if HSV, breakthroughs despite 3g/d OR if VZV
a) is CVID truly CVID? Highly frequent shingles makes me think of CID, a few occasional recurrences one does see in VZV and "CVID"
b) and in the case of HSV, is there even an impaired IFNg response, see Mihai Netea's group's article recently in JACI? However, patient would need to have to conditions, not exactly the Occam's razor

Colleagues:

I just started following an adult woman who was previously diagnosed with CVID.  She is doing very well with regards to respiratory and GI symptoms on weekly SCIg infusions.

However, she has experienced recurrent “shingles” and recently broke through valacyclovir prophylaxis.  The lesions have not been PCR’d for VZV.  She was told by another MD that a VZV vaccine may help.

I am a bit hesitant because she has a good VZV-specific lymphoproliferative response.

Assuming these are actually recurrent VZV outbreaks, has anyone noted an improvement in frequency or severity after administration of VZV vaccine?

Thank you for your time.
