[CIS PIDD] [cis-pidd] XLT and MMR/Varicella Vaccination

[CIS-PIDD]

Eleanora:

I’m conservative with these types of patients.

I would check to see if the patient made specific antibodies to tetanus toxoid and Hib.
If he did, I would then give VZV first.
If he breaks out in florid varicella you can treat with acyclovir, but I would be hesitant to give MMR.
If he tolerates VZV then 1 month later give MMR.

Good luck.

Dear all,

I would like your advice regarding a patient just diagnosed with XLT (WAS mut. V332A). He presented with hiatal hernia and he underwent surgery shortly after birth. Afterwards he developed persistent mild lymphadenopathy (LC and inguinal), reason why he came to our attention. Common infectious diseases were excluded. He suffers from some mild eczema, he has IgE of 494 kU/L with egg specific IgE. He also has small platelet volume, but not thrombocytopenia so far. His lympho subsets are normal as well as immunoglobulin values.
We run a gene panel and we fund a mutation on WAS gene compatible with XLT. Lymphadenopathy progressively solved. He never had major infections and he doing well.
He is now 15 m/o and he needs to undertake MMR/Varicella vaccination. What would you suggest to do?

Looking forward your inputs!

Best wishes
Eleonora
