13 children with ataxia-telangiectasia were followed for 6 years. Unlike previously reported cases, these patients had progressive, debilitating neurological disease and slight pulmonary or infectious symptoms. Immunological dysfunction was variable and endocrinological defects were absent. Oculomotor findings, alpha-fetoprotein levels, and the incidence of chromosomal breakage were the most consistent parameters in the diagnosis of the condition. This disease should be considered in any patient with chronic ataxia, regardless of immunological findings or whether he has a history of infections.
对13例共济失调毛细血管扩张症患儿进行了6年的随访。与先前报道的病例不同,这些患者患有进行性、使人衰弱的神经疾病以及轻微的肺部或感染症状。免疫功能障碍各不相同,且无内分泌缺陷。眼球运动检查结果、甲胎蛋白水平和染色体断裂发生率是诊断该病最一致的参数。对于任何患有慢性共济失调的患者,无论其免疫检查结果如何或有无感染史,均应考虑本病。
