The case is reported of a 4-year-old girl affected with recurrent infections; anaemia, thrombocytopenia, haemorrhages and hepatosplenomegaly. Immunological investigations revealed a defect in cellular immunity related to the thymus-dependent system, hypergammaglobulinaemia (especially of class IgE), and very high titres of antibodies against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). After foetal thymus transplantation, correction of the immunological defect and significant clinical improvement were noted, as well as a decrease of IgE and EBV antibody titres.
报告了一例4岁女童,患有反复感染、贫血、血小板减少、出血和肝脾肿大。免疫学检查发现与胸腺依赖系统相关的细胞免疫缺陷、高丙种球蛋白血症(尤其是IgE类)以及针对爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)的抗体滴度非常高。胎儿胸腺移植后,免疫缺陷得到纠正,临床有显著改善,同时IgE和EBV抗体滴度降低。
