RESUMO

PURPOSE: Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited immunodeficiency caused by pathogenic variants of genes encoding the enzyme complex NADPH oxidase. In countries where tuberculosis (TB) is endemic and the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is routinely administered, mycobacteria are major disease-causing pathogens in CGD. However, information on the clinical evolution and treatment of mycobacterial diseases in patients with CGD is limited. The present study describes the adverse reactions to BCG and TB in Mexican patients with CGD. METHODS: Patients with CGD who were evaluated at the Immunodeficiency Laboratory of the National Institute of Pediatrics between 2013 and 2024 were included. Medical records were reviewed to determine the clinical course and treatment of adverse reactions to BCG and TB disease. RESULTS: A total of 79 patients with CGD were included in this study. Adverse reactions to BCG were reported in 55 (72%) of 76 patients who received the vaccine. Tuberculosis was diagnosed in 19 (24%) patients. Relapse was documented in three (10%) of 31 patients with BGC-osis and six (32%) of 19 patients with TB, despite antituberculosis treatment. There was no difference in the frequency of BCG and TB disease between patients with pathogenic variants of the X-linked CYBB gene versus recessive variants. CONCLUSIONS: This report highlights the importance of considering TB in endemic areas and BCG complications in children with CGD to enable appropriate diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to improve prognosis and reduce the risk of relapse.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: We aimed to describe the clinical, immunological, and genetic features of patients with DOCK8 deficiency (DOCK8-Def) in a tertiary care center for children. METHODS: Retrospective chart review of patients' clinical, immunological, and genetic characteristics with DOCK8-Def. Genetic analysis was performed with targeted- or whole-exome sequencing; we also assessed DOCK8 protein expression and a lymphoproliferation assay and analyzed survival by the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: We described 11 patients from 8 unrelated kindreds. The median age at symptoms' onset was 10 months (range 1-54 months). The median follow-up time was 53.4 months (4.8-118.8). All patients presented eczema and recurrent sinopulmonary and cutaneous infections. Besides those symptoms, the most frequent manifestations were bronchiectases (8/11), food allergies (6/11), and severe infections (6/11). Infrequent characteristics were detection of CMV in bronchial lavage, C. parvum-driven sclerosing cholangitis, Takayasu vasculitis, neurological syndromes, pulmonary tuberculosis, and lymphomatoid granulomatosis. CONCLUSION: DOCK8-Def has a broad spectrum of manifestations, including allergy, autoimmunity, inflammation, infection, and cancer. The hallmark of this inborn error of immunity is IEI-associated eczema with eosinophilia and increased IgE. Here, we report six new mutations causing human DOCK8 deficiency and symptoms previously unrecognized to occur in DOCK8-Def. Therefore, an early diagnosis of DOCK8-Def is essential to facilitate an adequate treatment such as HSCT.

RESUMO

Ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is a disease caused by mutations in the ATM gene (11q22.3-23.1) that induce neurodegeneration Sasihuseyinoglu AS et al.  Pediatr Allergy Immunol Pulmonol 31(1):9-14, 2018, Teive HAG et al. Parkinsonism Relat Disord 46:3-8, 2018. Clinically, A-T is characterized by ataxia, mucocutaneous telangiectasia, immunodeficiency, and malignancy. Movement disorders have been the most described and well-studied symptoms of A-T. Other studies have reported visuospatial processing disorders, executive function disorders and emotional regulation disorders, which are clinical manifestations that characterize cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome (CCAS) Choy KR et al. Dev Dyn 247(1):33-46, 2018. To describe the neurocognitive and emotional state of pediatric patients with ataxia-telangiectasia and to discuss whether they have cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome. This observational, cross-sectional, and descriptive study included 9 patients with A-T from May 2019 to May 2021. A complete medical history was retrieved, and tests were applied to assess executive functions, visual-motor integration and abilities, language, psychological disorders, and ataxia. Six girls and 3 boys agreed to participate. The age range was 6 to 14 years. The participants included five schoolchildren and four teenagers. Eight patients presented impaired executive functioning. All patients showed some type of error in copying and tracing (distortion) in the performance of visual perceptual abilities. Emotional disorders such as anxiety and depression were observed in six patients. Eight patients presented with dyslalia and impairments in word articulation, all patients presented with ataxia, and seven patients used a wheelchair. All patients presented symptoms consistent with CCAS and had variable cognitive performance.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hereditary actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1B deficiency is characterized clinically by ear, skin, and lung infections, bleeding, eczema, food allergy, asthma, skin vasculitis, colitis, arthritis, short stature, and lymphadenopathy. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to describe the clinical, laboratory, and genetic features of six patients from four Mexican families. METHODS: We performed exome sequencing in patients of four families with suspected actinopathy, collected their data from medical records, and reviewed the literature for reports of other patients with actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1B deficiency. RESULTS: Six patients from four families were included. All had recurrent infections, mainly bacterial pneumonia, and cellulitis. A total of 67% had eczema whereas 50% had food allergies, failure to thrive, hepatomegaly, and bleeding. Eosinophilia was found in all; 84% had thrombocytopenia, 67% had abnormal-size platelets and anemia. Serum levels of IgG, IgA, and IgE were highly increased in most; IgM was normal or low. T cells were decreased in 67% of patients, whereas B and NK cells were increased in half of patients. Two of the four probands had compound heterozygous variants. One patient was successfully transplanted. We identified 28 other patients whose most prevalent features were eczema, recurrent infections, failure to thrive, bleeding, diarrhea, allergies, vasculitis, eosinophilia, platelet abnormalities, high IgE/IgA, low T cells, and high B cells. CONCLUSION: Actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 1B deficiency has a variable and heterogeneous clinical spectrum, expanded by these cases to include keloid scars and Epstein-Barr virus chronic hepatitis. A novel deletion in exon 8 was shared by three unrelated families and might be the result of a founder effect.

RESUMO

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a heterogeneous group of arthritis of autoimmune aetiology. Systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis (soJIA) presents with fever, transient erythematous rash, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and serositis. SoJIA presents multiple complications, and the most severe is the macrophage activation syndrome (MAS); the timely treatment of MAS must be established early and aggressively to avoid a fatal outcome. Therapeutic plasma exchange has anecdotally been used in refractory cases. A 66-month-old male with a 1-year illness characterized by evening-predominant, intermittent fever, adenomegalies, urticarial-like rash, arthralgia, and arthritis. Biochemical analysis revealed anaemia, leukocytosis, neutrophilia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperferritinemia, and hypofibrinogenemia; bone marrow aspirate showed hemophagocytosis. He was diagnosed with SoJIA complicated with MAS. He received multiple treatments with IV human gammaglobulin, cyclosporine, dexamethasone, and tocilizumab without improvement. Plasma replacement treatment was performed. Afterwards, he presented significant improvement. After 3-year-follow-up, he remains in good general condition. We present a refractory case of soJIA complicated with MAS successfully treated with plasma exchange.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Around 20% of all inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are autosomal dominant or monoallelic, either by haploinsufficiency, negative dominance, or gain of function (GOF). GOF phenotypes usually include autoinflammation, autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, allergies, and some infections. CASE SERIES: We describe the cases of two unrelated patients born of HIV-seroconcordant parents. Both patients are HIV-negative but carry de novo GOF missense variants that resulted in inflammatory lymphoproliferative IEI diseases: signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)-GOF and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, catalytic delta (PIK3CD)-GOF. Both variants were found through whole-exome sequencing and confirmed by Sanger.An 11-year-old male with recurrent sinopulmonary infections, dysmorphism, growth delay, bronchiectasis, and mild mental retardation, as well as lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, and high immunoglobulin M. Both his parents were known to be HIV-positive under anti-retroviral treatment. HIV infection was repeatedly ruled out in the patient, whom through whole-exome sequencing was found to have a heterozygous missense variant in exon 24 of PIK3CD, a hotspot transition, and the most reported variant in PIK3CD-GOF patients.A 6-year-old male with autoimmune hemolytic anemia, lymphoproliferation, short stature, and intractable diarrhea. Both his parents were found to be HIV-positive. HIV was repeatedly ruled out in the patient by ELISA and viral load. He was found to have a heterozygous missense/splice variant in exon 22 of STAT3, a hotspot transition, and the most reported variant in STAT3-GOF patients. DISCUSSION: The AID/APOBEC3 A-H family of proteins are cytidine deaminases that induce G>A hypermutation in both the invading viral DNA and the host genome, which results in stop codons inside the endogenized retroviral sequence. Both variants found in our patients are G to A transitions. Retroviral infection might thus have resulted in host genome instability, and our patients' rare congenital diseases are the unfortunate consequence of somatic hypermutation in one of their parents' gametes.

RESUMO

Introduction: The transcription factor Nuclear factor of activated T cells 5 (NFAT5), pivotal in immune regulation and function, can be induced by osmotic stress and tonicity-independent signals. Objective: We aimed to investigate and characterize two unrelated patients with Epstein-Barr virus susceptibility and no known genetic etiology. Methods: After informed consent, we reviewed the electronic charts, extracted genomic DNA, performed whole-exome sequencing, filtered, and prioritized their variants, and confirmed through Sanger sequencing, family segregation analysis, and some functional assays, including lymphoproliferation, cytotoxicity, and characterization of natural killer cells. Results: We describe two cases of pediatric Mexican patients with rare heterozygous missense variants in NFAT5 and EBV susceptibility, a school-age girl with chronic-active infection of the liver and bowel, and a teenage boy who died of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. Discussion: NFAT5 is an important regulator of the immune response. NFAT5 haploinsufficiency has been described as an immunodeficiency syndrome affecting both innate and adaptive immunity. EBV susceptibility might be another manifestation in the spectrum of this disease.

RESUMO

Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 3 (TRAF3) is a central regulator of immunity. TRAF3 is often somatically mutated in B cell malignancies, but its role in human immunity is not defined. Here, in five unrelated families, we describe an immune dysregulation syndrome of recurrent bacterial infections, autoimmunity, systemic inflammation, B cell lymphoproliferation, and hypergammaglobulinemia. Affected individuals each had monoallelic mutations in TRAF3 that reduced TRAF3 expression. Immunophenotyping showed that patients' B cells were dysregulated, exhibiting increased nuclear factor-κB 2 activation, elevated mitochondrial respiration, and heightened inflammatory responses. Patients had mild CD4+ T cell lymphopenia, with a reduced proportion of naïve T cells but increased regulatory T cells and circulating T follicular helper cells. Guided by this clinical phenotype, targeted analyses demonstrated that common genetic variants, which also reduce TRAF3 expression, are associated with an increased risk of B cell malignancies, systemic lupus erythematosus, higher immunoglobulin levels, and bacterial infections in the wider population. Reduced TRAF3 conveys disease risks by driving B cell hyperactivity via intrinsic activation of multiple intracellular proinflammatory pathways and increased mitochondrial respiration, with a likely contribution from dysregulated T cell help. Thus, we define monogenic TRAF3 haploinsufficiency syndrome and demonstrate how common TRAF3 variants affect a range of human diseases.

RESUMO

Paraneoplastic pemphigus is a rare and severe autoimmune blistering disease characterized by a recalcitrant and severe mucositis, and polymorphic cutaneous lesions, associated with benign and malignant neoplasms. Paraneoplastic pemphigus is caused by production of autoantibodies against various epidermal proteins involved in cell adhesion. Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is one of the leading causes of mortality in these patients. Recent advances have associated the presence of anti-epiplakin antibodies with the development of BO in adult patients. Here we describe the first pediatric patient in whom the association of anti-epiplakin antibodies and BO have been reported so far.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by defective B cell differentiation and antibody production. Interleukin (IL)-21 activates STAT3, a potent regulator of B cell differentiation into plasma cells. We have studied the phosphorylation of STAT3 in CVID patients and its contribution to B cells subsets. METHODS: We studied 23 CVID patients and 14 healthy donors (HD), determining pSTAT3 in naïve and memory B cells, stimulated with IL-21 at 15 and 60 min. RESULTS: pSTAT3 was increased in total (p = 0.044), naïve (p = 0.023), and memory (p = 0.001) B cells at 60 min in CVID patients compared with HD. We classified patients by the percentage of isotype-switched memory B cells. We observed an increase in pSTAT3 at 60 min in memory B cells in both CVID groups of patients (p = 0.026, p = 0.007, respectively). Interestingly, the analysis of each group individually; demonstrated that patients with decreased memory B cells exhibited an increase in pSTAT3 at 60 min (p = 0.023), while HD had an expected decrease in pSTAT3 (p = 0.045). CONCLUSION: CVID patients showed an increased atypical of pSTAT3, which could affect the differentiation of B cells. Further studies in the IL-21 pathway are necessary to understand how this alteration could promote differentiation defects in patient B cells.

RESUMO

Combinedimmunodeficiency (CID) due to DOCK8 deficiency is an inborn error of immunity (IBD) characterized by dysfunctional T and B lymphocytes; The spectrum of manifestations includes allergy, autoimmunity, inflammation, predisposition to cancer, and recurrent infections. DOCK8 deficiency can be distinguished from other CIDs or within the spectrum of hyper-IgE syndromes by exhibiting profound susceptibility to viral skin infections, associated skin cancers, and severe food allergies. The 9p24.3 subtelomeric locus where DOCK8 is located includes numerous repetitive sequence elements that predispose to the generation of large germline deletions and recombination-mediated somatic DNA repair. Residual production DOCK8 protein contributes to the variable phenotype of the disease. Severe viral skin infections and varicella-zoster virus (VZV)-associated vasculopathy, reflect an essential role of the DOCK8 protein, which is required to maintain lymphocyte integrity as cells migrate through the tissues. Loss of DOCK8 causes immune deficiencies through other mechanisms, including a cell survival defect. In addition, there are alterations in the response of dendritic cells, which explains susceptibility to virus infection and regulatory T lymphocytes that could help explain autoimmunity in patients. Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is the only curative treatment; it improves eczema, allergies, and susceptibility to infections.


Lainmunodeficiencia combinada (IDC) por deficiencia de DOCK8 es un error innato de la inmunidad, caracterizado por alteración en linfocitos T y B; el espectro de manifestaciones incluye alergia, autoinmunidad, inflamación, predisposición a cáncer e infecciones recurrentes. La deficiencia de DOCK8 se puede distinguir de otras IDC o dentro del espectro de síndromes de hiper-IgE porque presenta una profunda susceptibilidad a las infecciones virales de la piel, con cánceres de piel asociados y alergias alimentarias graves. El locus subtelomérico 9p24.3, donde se ubica DOCK8, incluye numerosos elementos repetitivos de secuencia que predisponen a la generación de grandes deleciones de la línea germinal, así como a la reparación del ADN somático, mediada por recombinación. La producción residual de la proteína DOCK8 contribuye al fenotipo variable de la enfermedad. Las infecciones virales graves de la piel y la vasculopatía asociada a virus de la varicela zóster (VVZ) reflejan una función importante de la proteína DOCK8, que normalmente se requiere para mantener la integridad de los linfocitos a medida que las células migran a través de tejidos. La pérdida de DOCK8 provoca deficiencias inmunitarias a través de otros mecanismos, incluido un defecto de supervivencia celular. Existen alteraciones en la respuesta de las células dendríticas, lo que explica la susceptibilidad a infección por virus, así como en los linfocitos T reguladores que podrían ayudar a explicar la autoinmunidad en los pacientes. El trasplante de células hematopoyéticas pluripotenciales es por el momento el único tratamiento curativo, mejora el eccema, la alergia y la susceptibilidad a infecciones.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Glucose-6-phosphate catalytic subunit 3 (G6PC3) deficiency is characterized by severe congenital neutropenia with recurrent pyogenic infections, a prominent superficial venous pattern and cardiovascular and urogenital malformations caused by an alteration of glucose homeostasis, with increased endoplasmic reticulum stress and cell apoptosis. METHODS: We reviewed our patients with G6PC3 deficiency diagnosed along the last decade in Mexico; we also searched the PubMed/Medline database for the terms ('G6PC3 deficiency' OR 'Dursun syndrome' OR 'Severe congenital neutropenia type 4'), and selected articles published in English from 2009 to 2020. RESULTS: We found 89 patients reported from at least 14 countries in 4 continents. We describe five new cases from Mexico. Of the 94 patients, 56% are male, 48% from Middle East countries and none of them had adverse reactions to live vaccines; all presented with at least 1 severe infection prior to age 2. Seventy-five per cent had syndromic features, mainly atrial septal defect in 55% and prominent superficial veins in 62%. CONCLUSIONS: With a total of 94 patients reported in the past decade, we delineate the most frequent laboratory and genetic features, their treatment and outcomes, and to expand the knowledge of syndromic and non-syndromic phenotypes in these patients.

RESUMO

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inborn error of immunity caused by a defect in one of the components of the NADPH oxidase complex, which is responsible for generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) during the respiratory burst in phagocytes. The absence of ROS produced by NADPH oxidase in neutrophils and in macrophages leads to greater susceptibility to certain bacterial and fungal infections, and also to inflammatory manifestations due to a deregulated inflammatory response, which suggests that the ability to adequately regulate inflammatory signaling depends on ROS produced by NADPH oxidase. The disease course in patients with X-linked CGD is more severe, with recurrent invasive infections; in contrast, patients with non-classic CGD do not present invasive bacterial or fungal infections, but have more prominent inflammatory manifestations. The most frequent gastrointestinal manifestations are stomatitis, gingivitis, chronic diarrhea, liver abscesses that are similar to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and granulomas that can cause obstruction or stenosis in the esophagus, stomach or intestine. It has been observed that the deficiency of p40phox and ROS (non-classic CGD) are associated with greater susceptibility to colitis and the development of severe inflammation; therefore, it is presented that these proteins participate in the resolution of inflammation. In general, the inflammatory findings in CGD, including gastrointestinal manifestations, are seldom described. In international cohorts, manifestations that are similar to IBD are reported in up to 58% of patients with CGD; however, in the only Mexican cohort, its finding is described in only 4 out of 93 patients (4.3%). In this review, we summarize the gastrointestinal clinical findings of CGD, including infectious and inflammatory manifestations, emphasizing on the latter.


La enfermedad granulomatosa crónica (EGC) es un error innato de la inmunidad causado por un defecto en uno de los componentes del complejo NADPH oxidasa, responsable de generar especies reactivas de oxígeno (ERO) durante el estallido respiratorio en los fagocitos. La ausencia de ERO producidos por la NADPH oxidasa en los neutrófilos y en los macrófagos produce mayor susceptibilidad a infecciones bacterianas y fúngicas, además de manifestaciones inflamatorias por una respuesta inflamatoria desregulada, lo que sugiere que la capacidad para regular adecuadamente la señalización inflamatoria depende de las ERO derivadas de la NADPH oxidasa. Los pacientes con EGC ligada al cromosoma X tienen un curso de enfermedad más grave con infecciones invasivas recurrentes, a diferencia de los pacientes con EGC no clásica, quienes no presentan infecciones bacterianas o fúngicas invasivas, pero con manifestaciones inflamatorias más prominentes. Las manifestaciones gastrointestinales más frecuentes son estomatitis, gingivitis, diarrea crónica, abscesos hepáticos, similares a las de la enfermedad inflamatoria intestinal (EII) y granulomas, que pueden provocar obstrucción o estenosis en esófago, estómago o intestino. Se ha observado que la deficiencia de p40phox y EROS (EGC no clásica) se asocia a mayor susceptibilidad a colitis y al desarrollo de inflamación severa, por lo que se plantea que estas proteínas participan en la resolución de la inflamación. En general, los hallazgos inflamatorios en la EGC, incluyendo los gastrointestinales, han sido poco descritos. En las cohortes internacionales se reportan manifestaciones similares a EII hasta en 58 % de los pacientes con EGC; en cambio, en la única cohorte mexicana se describe su hallazgo solo en cuatro de 93 pacientes (4.3 %). En esta revisión resumimos los hallazgos clínicos gastrointestinales de la EGC, incluidas las manifestaciones infecciosas e inflamatorias, con énfasis en las últimas.

RESUMO

Mutations in recombinase activating genes 1 and 2 (RAG1/2) result in human severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). The products of these genes are essential for V(D)J rearrangement of the antigen receptors during lymphocyte development. Mutations resulting in null-recombination activity in RAG1 or RAG2 are associated with the most severe clinical and immunological phenotypes, whereas patients with hypomorphic mutations may develop leaky SCID, including Omenn syndrome (OS). A group of previously unrecognized clinical phenotypes associated with granulomata and/or autoimmunity have been described as a consequence of hypomorphic mutations. Here, we present six patients from unrelated families with missense variants in RAG1 or RAG2. Phenotypes observed in these patients ranged from OS to severe mycobacterial infections and granulomatous disease. Moreover, we report the first evidence of two variants that had not been associated with immunodeficiency. This study represents the first case series of RAG1- or RAG2-deficient patients from Mexico and Latin America.

RESUMO

Griscelli syndrome (GS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease with characteristic pigment distribution, and there are currently 3 types according to the underlying genetic defect and clinical features. We present the case of a girl born from consanguineous parents who presented with predominant neurologic symptoms, silvery hair and granulomatous skin lesions. Cerebral magnetic resonance revealed diffuse white matter lesions, and central nervous system (CNS) lymphocytic infiltration was suspected. The patient underwent haematopoietic stem cell transplantation with graft failure and autologous reconstitution. She developed elevated liver enzyme with a cholestatic pattern. Multiple liver biopsies revealed centrilobular cholestasis and unspecific portal inflammation that improved with immunomodulatory treatment. She was revealed to have an impaired cytotoxicity in NK cells and a decreased expression of RAB27A. However, no variants were found in the gene. All types of GS present with pigment dilution and irregular pigment clumps that can be seen through light microscopy in hair and skin biopsy. Dermic granulomas and immunodeficiency with infectious and HLH predisposition have been described in GS type 2 (GS2). Neurologic alterations might be seen in GS type 1 (GS1) and GS type 2 (GS2), due to different mechanisms. GS1 presents with neurologic impairment secondary to myosin Va role in neuronal development and synapsis. Meanwhile, GS2 can present with neurologic impairment secondary to SNC HLH. Clinical features and cytotoxicity might aid in differentiating GS1 and GS2, especially since treatment differs.

RESUMO

Kawasaki disease (KD) is an acute systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. KD can be complicated with macrophage activation syndrome. The optimal treatment for this KD complication has not been established, and a variety of treatments have been used. Infliximab, a chimeric monoclonal antibody that binds tumor necrosis factor, has proved to be efficacious in IV gammaglobulin resistant KD. We present 2 cases of KD complicated with macrophage activation syndrome, including 1 patient with DiGeorge syndrome successfully treated with a combined treatment of IV gammaglobulin, corticosteroids, cyclosporine, and infliximab.
