This is the first case of NBAS disease detected by NBS for primary immunodeficiency. NBS with KRECs is revealing unknown potentialities detecting conditions that benefit from early recognition like NBAS deficiency. Immune phenotyping should be mandatory in patients with NBAS deficiency since they can exhibit severe immunodeficiency with hypogammaglobulinemia as the most frequent finding. Fever during infections is a known trigger of acute liver failure in this syndrome, so immune dysfunction, should never go unnoticed in NBAS deficiency in order to start adequate therapy and prophylaxis.
这是首例通过新生儿筛查(NBS)检测到的原发性免疫缺陷病 NBAS 病例。KREC 的 NBS 正在揭示未知的潜能,检测出那些受益于早期识别的疾病,如 NBAS 缺乏症。NBAS 缺乏症患者应进行免疫表型分析,因为他们可能表现出严重的免疫缺陷,最常见的表现是低丙种球蛋白血症。在该综合征中,感染期间发热是急性肝衰竭的已知诱因,因此在 NBAS 缺乏症中,免疫功能障碍绝不能被忽视,以便开始进行适当的治疗和预防。
