X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) caused by CD40L mutations is a primary immunodeficiency condition that increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Disseminated cryptococcosis in XHIM is rarely reported in children. Here, we report two related boys who have a novel hemizygous frameshift c.208delC mutation of CD40L. They live in the western region of Thailand and developed disseminated cryptococcosis while receiving regular intravenous immunoglobulin supplementation.
X 连锁高免疫球蛋白 M 血症(XHIM)是一种由 CD40L 突变引起的原发性免疫缺陷病,增加了对机会性感染的易感性。儿童中罕见报道 XHIM 合并播散性隐球菌病。在此,我们报告了两例相关的男孩,他们均携带 CD40L 的新型半合子移码突变 c.208delC。他们居住在泰国西部,在接受常规静脉注射免疫球蛋白补充治疗时发生了播散性隐球菌病。
