RESUMEN
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by life-threatening infections and inflammatory conditions. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the definitive treatment for CGD, but questions remain regarding patient selection and impact of active disease on transplant outcomes. We performed a multi-institutional retrospective and prospective study of 391 patients with CGD treated either conventionally (non-HCT) enrolled from 2004 to 2018 or with HCT from 1996 to 2018. Median follow-up after HCT was 3.7 years with a 3-year overall survival of 82% and event-free survival of 69%. In a multivariate analysis, a Lansky/Karnofsky score <90 and use of HLA-mismatched donors negatively affected survival. Age, genotype, and oxidase status did not affect outcomes. Before HCT, patients had higher infection density, higher frequency of noninfectious lung and liver diseases, and more steroid use than conventionally treated patients; however, these issues did not adversely affect HCT survival. Presence of pre-HCT inflammatory conditions was associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease. Graft failure or receipt of a second HCT occurred in 17.6% of the patients and was associated with melphalan-based conditioning and/or early mixed chimerism. At 3 to 5 years after HCT, patients had improved growth and nutrition, resolved infections and inflammatory disease, and lower rates of antimicrobial prophylaxis or corticosteroid use compared with both their baseline and those of conventionally treated patients. HCT leads to durable resolution of CGD symptoms and lowers the burden of the disease. Patients with active infection or inflammation are candidates for transplants; HCT should be considered before the development of comorbidities that could affect performance status. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02082353.

BACKGROUND: The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) enrolled children in the United States and Canada onto a retrospective multicenter natural history study of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). OBJECTIVE: We investigated outcomes of HCT for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). METHODS: We evaluated the chronic and late effects (CLE) after HCT for SCID in 399 patients transplanted from 1982 to 2012 at 32 PIDTC centers. Eligibility criteria included survival to at least 2 years after HCT without need for subsequent cellular therapy. CLE were defined as either conditions present at any time before 2 years from HCT that remained unresolved (chronic), or new conditions that developed beyond 2 years after HCT (late). RESULTS: The cumulative incidence of CLE was 25% in those alive at 2 years, increasing to 41% at 15 years after HCT. CLE were most prevalent in the neurologic (9%), neurodevelopmental (8%), and dental (8%) categories. Chemotherapy-based conditioning was associated with decreased-height z score at 2 to 5 years after HCT (P < .001), and with endocrine (P < .001) and dental (P = .05) CLE. CD4 count of ≤500 cells/µL and/or continued need for immunoglobulin replacement therapy >2 years after transplantation were associated with lower-height z scores. Continued survival from 2 to 15 years after HCT was 90%. The presence of any CLE was associated with increased risk of late death (hazard ratio, 7.21; 95% confidence interval, 2.71-19.18; P < .001). CONCLUSION: Late morbidity after HCT for SCID was substantial, with an adverse impact on overall survival. This study provides evidence for development of survivorship guidelines based on disease characteristics and treatment exposure for patients after HCT for SCID.

BACKGROUND: P47phox (neutrophil cytosolic factor-1) deficiency is the most common cause of autosomal recessive chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and is considered to be associated with a milder clinical phenotype. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for p47phox CGD is not well-described. OBJECTIVES: We sought to study HCT for p47phox CGD in North America. METHODS: Thirty patients with p47phox CGD who received allogeneic HCT at Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium centers since 1995 were included. RESULTS: Residual oxidative activity was present in 66.7% of patients. In the year before HCT, there were 0.38 CGD-related infections per person-years. Inflammatory diseases, predominantly of the lungs and bowel, occurred in 36.7% of the patients. The median age at HCT was 9.1 years (range 1.5-23.6 years). Most HCTs (90%) were performed after using reduced intensity/toxicity conditioning. HCT sources were HLA-matched (40%) and -mismatched (10%) related donors or HLA-matched (36.7%) and -mismatched (13.3%) unrelated donors. CGD-related infections after HCT decreased significantly to 0.06 per person-years (P = .038). The frequency of inflammatory bowel disease and the use of steroids also decreased. The cumulative incidence of graft failure and second HCT was 17.9%. The 2-year overall and event-free survival were 92.3% and 82.1%, respectively, while at 5 years they were 85.7% and 77.0%, respectively. In the surviving patients evaluated, ≥95% donor myeloid chimerism at 1 and 2 years after HCT was 93.8% and 87.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with p47phox CGD suffer from a significant disease burden that can be effectively alleviated by HCT. Similar to other forms of CGD, HCT should be considered for patients with p47phox CGD.

BACKGROUND: Chronic norovirus infection (CNI) causes significant morbidity in immunocompromised patients. No effective prevention or treatment currently exists. METHODS: Two patients with inborn errors of immunity, X- linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) and DOCK8 deficiency, were followed longitudinally for clinical course, immune reconstitution, norovirus-specific T cell (NST) response, B cell reconstitution, and norovirus-specific antibody production. Samples were obtained in the peri-hematopoietic stem cell transplant setting (HSCT) before and after CNI clearance. The norovirus strain causing CNI was followed longitudinally for norovirus stool viral loads and sequencing. RESULTS: The noroviruses were identified as GII.4 Sydney[P4 New Orleans] in one patient and GII.17[P17] in the other. An exacerbation of diarrhea post-HSCT in the patient with X-SCID was consistent with norovirus infection but not with graft-vs-host-disease on pathologic samples. Both patients recovered polyfunctional NSTs in the CD4 and CD8 T cell compartments which recognized multiple norovirus structural and non-structural viral antigens. T cell responses were minimal during active CNI but detectable after resolution. Mapping of norovirus-specific T cell responses between the patient with DOCK8 and his matched sibling donor were nearly identical. B cell reconstitution or new endogenous antibody production for IgA or IgG were not observed. CONCLUSION: This report is the first to demonstrate reconstitution of norovirus-specific T cell immunity after HSCT closely temporally aligned with clearance of CNI suggesting that cellular immunity is sufficient for norovirus clearance.
RESUMEN
Both non-malignant and malignant lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) are commonly seen in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI), which may be the presenting manifestations or may develop during the IEI disease course. Here we review the clinical, histopathological, and molecular features of benign and malignant LPD associated with IEI and recognize the diagnostic challenges.

Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) is characterized by a severe deficiency in T cell numbers. We analyzed data collected (n = 307) for PHA-based T cell proliferation from the PIDTC SCID protocol 6901, using either a radioactive or flow cytometry method. In comparing the two groups, a smaller number of the patients tested by flow cytometry had <10% of the lower limit of normal proliferation as compared to the radioactive method (p = 0.02). Further, in patients with CD3+ T cell counts between 51 and 300 cells/µL, there was a higher proliferative response with the PHA flow assay compared to the 3H-T assay (p < 0.0001), suggesting that the method of analysis influences the resolution and interpretation of PHA results. Importantly, we observed many SCID patients with profound T cell lymphopenia having normal T cell proliferation when assessed by flow cytometry. We recommend this test be considered only as supportive in the diagnosis of typical SCID.

Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency causes â¼13% of cases of severe combined immune deficiency (SCID). Treatments include enzyme replacement therapy (ERT), hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), and gene therapy (GT). We evaluated 131 patients with ADA-SCID diagnosed between 1982 and 2017 who were enrolled in the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium SCID studies. Baseline clinical, immunologic, genetic characteristics, and treatment outcomes were analyzed. First definitive cellular therapy (FDCT) included 56 receiving HCT without preceding ERT (HCT); 31 HCT preceded by ERT (ERT-HCT); and 33 GT preceded by ERT (ERT-GT). Five-year event-free survival (EFS, alive, no need for further ERT or cellular therapy) was 49.5% (HCT), 73% (ERT-HCT), and 75.3% (ERT-GT; P < .01). Overall survival (OS) at 5 years after FDCT was 72.5% (HCT), 79.6% (ERT-HCT), and 100% (ERT-GT; P = .01). Five-year OS was superior for patients undergoing HCT at <3.5 months of age (91.6% vs 68% if ≥3.5 months, P = .02). Active infection at the time of HCT (regardless of ERT) decreased 5-year EFS (33.1% vs 68.2%, P < .01) and OS (64.7% vs 82.3%, P = .02). Five-year EFS (90.5%) and OS (100%) were best for matched sibling and matched family donors (MSD/MFD). For patients treated after the year 2000 and without active infection at the time of FDCT, no difference in 5-year EFS or OS was found between HCT using a variety of transplant approaches and ERT-GT. This suggests alternative donor HCT may be considered when MSD/MFD HCT and GT are not available, particularly when newborn screening identifies patients with ADA-SCID soon after birth and before the onset of infections. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01186913 and #NCT01346150.

BACKGROUND: Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) comprises rare inherited disorders of immunity that require definitive treatment through hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or gene therapy for survival. Despite successes of allogeneic HCT, many SCID patients experience incomplete immune reconstitution, persistent T-cell lymphopenia, and poor long-term outcomes. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that CD4+ T-cell lymphopenia could be associated with a state of T-cell exhaustion in previously transplanted SCID patients. METHODS: We analyzed markers of exhaustion in blood samples from 61 SCID patients at a median of 10.4 years after HCT. RESULTS: Compared to post-HCT SCID patients with normal CD4+ T-cell counts, those with poor T-cell reconstitution showed lower frequency of naive CD45RA+/CCR7+ T cells, recent thymic emigrants, and TCR excision circles. They also had a restricted TCR repertoire, increased expression of inhibitory receptors (PD-1, 2B4, CD160, BTLA, CTLA-4), and increased activation markers (HLA-DR, perforin) on their total and naive CD8+ T cells, suggesting T-cell exhaustion and aberrant activation, respectively. The exhaustion score of CD8+ T cells was inversely correlated with CD4+ T-cell count, recent thymic emigrants, TCR excision circles, and TCR diversity. Exhaustion scores were higher among recipients of unconditioned HCT, especially when further in time from HCT. Patients with fewer CD4+ T cells showed a transcriptional signature of exhaustion. CONCLUSIONS: Recipients of unconditioned HCT for SCID may develop late post-HCT T-cell exhaustion as a result of diminished production of T-lineage cells. Elevated expression of inhibitory receptors on their T cells may be a biomarker of poor long-term T-cell reconstitution.

BACKGROUND: Shearer et al in 2014 articulated well-defined criteria for the diagnosis and classification of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) as part of the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium's (PIDTC's) prospective and retrospective studies of SCID. OBJECTIVE: Because of the advent of newborn screening for SCID and expanded availability of genetic sequencing, revision of the PIDTC 2014 Criteria was needed. METHODS: We developed and tested updated PIDTC 2022 SCID Definitions by analyzing 379 patients proposed for prospective enrollment into Protocol 6901, focusing on the ability to distinguish patients with various SCID subtypes. RESULTS: According to PIDTC 2022 Definitions, 18 of 353 patients eligible per 2014 Criteria were considered not to have SCID, whereas 11 of 26 patients ineligible per 2014 Criteria were determined to have SCID. Of note, very low numbers of autologous T cells (<0.05 × 109/L) characterized typical SCID under the 2022 Definitions. Pathogenic variant(s) in SCID-associated genes was identified in 93% of patients, with 7 genes (IL2RG, RAG1, ADA, IL7R, DCLRE1C, JAK3, and RAG2) accounting for 89% of typical SCID. Three genotypes (RAG1, ADA, and RMRP) accounted for 57% of cases of leaky/atypical SCID; there were 13 other rare genotypes. Patients with leaky/atypical SCID were more likely to be diagnosed at more than age 1 year than those with typical SCID lacking maternal T cells: 20% versus 1% (P < .001). Although repeat testing proved important, an initial CD3 T-cell count of less than 0.05 × 109/L differentiated cases of typical SCID lacking maternal cells from leaky/atypical SCID: 97% versus 7% (P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: The PIDTC 2022 Definitions describe SCID and its subtypes more precisely than before, facilitating analyses of SCID characteristics and outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Development of a diverse T-cell receptor ß (TRB) repertoire is associated with immune recovery following hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). High-throughput sequencing of the TRB repertoire allows evaluation of clonotype dynamics during immune reconstitution. OBJECTIVES: We investigated whether longitudinal analysis of the TRB repertoire would accurately describe T-cell receptor diversity and illustrate the quality of T-cell reconstitution following HCT or gene therapy for SCID. METHODS: We used high-throughput sequencing to study composition and diversity of the TRB repertoire in 27 infants with SCID at 3, 6, and 12 months and yearly posttreatment(s). Total RNA from peripheral blood was used as template to amplify TRB rearrangements. RESULTS: TRB sequence analysis showed poor diversity at 3 months, followed by significant improvement by 6 months after cellular therapies. Kinetics of development of TRB diversity were similar in patients with a range of underlying gene defects. However, in patients with RAG and DCLRE1C defects, HCT with no conditioning or immune suppression only resulted in lower diversity than did HCT with conditioning. HCT from a matched donor correlated with higher diversity than did HCT from a mismatched donor. Naive CD4+ T-cell count at 6 months post-HCT correlated with higher TRB diversity. A Shannon index of diversity of 5.2 or lower 3 months after HCT predicted a need for a second intervention. CONCLUSIONS: TRB repertoire after hematopoietic cell therapies for SCID provides a quantitative and qualitative measure of diversity of T-cell reconstitution and permits early identification of patients who may require a second intervention.

Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an X-linked disease caused by mutations in the WAS gene, leading to thrombocytopenia, eczema, recurrent infections, autoimmune disease, and malignancy. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the primary curative approach, with the goal of correcting the underlying immunodeficiency and thrombocytopenia. HCT outcomes have improved over time, particularly for patients with HLA-matched sibling and unrelated donors. We report the outcomes of 129 patients with WAS who underwent HCT at 29 Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium centers from 2005 through 2015. Median age at HCT was 1.2 years. Most patients (65%) received myeloablative busulfan-based conditioning. With a median follow-up of 4.5 years, the 5-year overall survival (OS) was 91%. Superior 5-year OS was observed in patients <5 vs ≥5 years of age at the time of HCT (94% vs 66%; overall P = .0008). OS was excellent regardless of donor type, even in cord blood recipients (90%). Conditioning intensity did not affect OS, but was associated with donor T-cell and myeloid engraftment after HCT. Specifically, patients who received fludarabine/melphalan-based reduced-intensity regimens were more likely to have donor myeloid chimerism <50% early after HCT. In addition, higher platelet counts were observed among recipients who achieved full (>95%) vs low-level (5%-49%) donor myeloid engraftment. In summary, HCT outcomes for WAS have improved since 2005, compared with prior reports. HCT at a younger age continues to be associated with superior outcomes supporting the recommendation for early HCT. High-level donor myeloid engraftment is important for platelet reconstitution after either myeloablative or busulfan-containing reduced intensity conditioning.

PURPOSE: A need exists for reduced toxicity conditioning regimens that offer less toxicity while maintaining myeloablation, especially for primary immune deficiencies where myeloablation or high donor myeloid chimerism is required to achieve cure. We adapted a busulfan and fludarabine regimen by Gungor et al. for children and young adults undergoing allogeneic HCT for non-CGD primary immune deficiencies requiring myeloablation or high donor myeloid chimerism, and herein report our experience. METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed records of 41 consecutive patients who underwent allogeneic HCT for Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (n = 12), primary HLH/XLP (n = 10), CD40L deficiency (n = 7), or other (n = 12) primary immune deficiencies with a conditioning regimen containing pharmacokinetic-guided busulfan dosing which achieved a cumulative AUC between 57 and 74 mg/L × h (65-80% of conventional myeloablative exposure), along with fludarabine and alemtuzumab or anti-thymocyte globulin at 3 transplant centers between 2014 and 2019. RESULTS: Forty-one patients underwent a first (n = 33) or second (n = 8) allogeneic HCT. Median age was 2.3 years (range, 0.3 years-19.8 years). All but one patient (97.5%) achieved neutrophil recovery at a median of 14 days (range, 11-34 days). One patient developed sinusoidal obstruction syndrome and two patients developed diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. Four patients developed grades II-IV acute GVHD. Three patients developed chronic GVHD. One-year overall survival was 90% (95% confidence interval [CI] 81-99%) and event-free survival was 83% (95% CI 71-94%). CONCLUSIONS: Our experience suggests that a reduced toxicity busulfan-fludarabine regimen offers low toxicity, low incidence of grades 2-4 GVHD, durable myeloid engraftment, and excellent survival, and may be considered for a variety of primary immune deficiencies where myeloablative HCT is desired.

PURPOSE: The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) enrolled children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in a prospective natural history study of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) outcomes over the last decade. Despite newborn screening (NBS) for SCID, infections occurred prior to HSCT. This study's objectives were to define the types and timing of infection prior to HSCT in patients diagnosed via NBS or by family history (FH) and to understand the breadth of strategies employed at PIDTC centers for infection prevention. METHODS: We analyzed retrospective data on infections and pre-transplant management in patients with SCID diagnosed by NBS and/or FH and treated with HSCT between 2010 and 2014. PIDTC centers were surveyed in 2018 to understand their practices and protocols for pre-HSCT management. RESULTS: Infections were more common in patients diagnosed via NBS (55%) versus those diagnosed via FH (19%) (p = 0.012). Outpatient versus inpatient management did not impact infections (47% vs 35%, respectively; p = 0.423). There was no consensus among PIDTC survey respondents as to the best setting (inpatient vs outpatient) for pre-HSCT management. While isolation practices varied, immunoglobulin replacement and antimicrobial prophylaxis were more uniformly implemented. CONCLUSION: Infants with SCID diagnosed due to FH had lower rates of infection and proceeded to HSCT more quickly than did those diagnosed via NBS. Pre-HSCT management practices were highly variable between centers, although uses of prophylaxis and immunoglobulin support were more consistent. This study demonstrates a critical need for development of evidence-based guidelines for the pre-HSCT management of infants with SCID following an abnormal NBS. TRIAL REGISTRATION: NCT01186913.

RESUMEN
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) typically results in donor T-cell engraftment and function in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), but humoral immunity, particularly when using donors other than matched siblings, is variable. B-cell function after HSCT for SCID depends on the genetic cause, the use of pre-HSCT conditioning, and whether donor B-cell chimerism is achieved. Patients with defects in IL2RG or JAK3 undergoing HSCT without conditioning often have poor B-cell function post-HSCT, perhaps as a result of impairment of IL-21 signaling in host-derived B cells. To investigate the effect of pre-HSCT conditioning on B-cell function, and the relationship of in vitro B-cell function to clinical humoral immune status, we analyzed 48 patients with IL2RG/JAK3 SCID who were older than 2 years after HSCT with donors other than matched siblings. T follicular helper cells (TFH) developed in these patients with kinetics similar to healthy young children; thus, poor B-cell function could not be attributed to a failure of TFH development. In vitro differentiation of B cells into plasmablasts and immunoglobulin secretion in response to IL-21 strongly correlated with the use of conditioning, donor B-cell engraftment, freedom from immunoglobulin replacement, and response to tetanus vaccine. Patients receiving immunoglobulin replacement who had normal serum immunoglobulin M showed poor response to IL-21 in vitro, similar to those with low serum IgM. In vitro response of B cells to IL-21 may predict clinically relevant humoral immune function in patients with IL2RG/JAK3 SCID after HSCT.

The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) performed a retrospective analysis of 662 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) who received a hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as first-line treatment between 1982 and 2012 in 33 North American institutions. Overall survival was higher after HCT from matched-sibling donors (MSDs). Among recipients of non-MSD HCT, multivariate analysis showed that the SCID genotype strongly influenced survival and immune reconstitution. Overall survival was similar for patients with RAG, IL2RG, or JAK3 defects and was significantly better compared with patients with ADA or DCLRE1C mutations. Patients with RAG or DCLRE1C mutations had poorer immune reconstitution than other genotypes. Although survival did not correlate with the type of conditioning regimen, recipients of reduced-intensity or myeloablative conditioning had a lower incidence of treatment failure and better T- and B-cell reconstitution, but a higher risk for graft-versus-host disease, compared with those receiving no conditioning or immunosuppression only. Infection-free status and younger age at HCT were associated with improved survival. Typical SCID, leaky SCID, and Omenn syndrome had similar outcomes. Landmark analysis identified CD4+ and CD4+CD45RA+ cell counts at 6 and 12 months post-HCT as biomarkers predictive of overall survival and long-term T-cell reconstitution. Our data emphasize the need for patient-tailored treatment strategies depending upon the underlying SCID genotype. The prognostic significance of CD4+ cell counts as early as 6 months after HCT emphasizes the importance of close follow-up of immune reconstitution to identify patients who may need additional intervention to prevent poor long-term outcome.

INTRODUCTION: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affects approximately 1/3 of patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). Comprehensive investigation of the effect of allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) on CGD IBD and the impact of IBD on transplant outcomes is lacking. METHODS: We collected data retrospectively from 145 patients with CGD who had received allogeneic HCT at 26 Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) centers between January 1, 2005 and June 30, 2016. RESULTS: Forty-nine CGD patients with IBD and 96 patients without IBD underwent allogeneic HCT. Eighty-nine percent of patients with IBD and 93% of patients without IBD engrafted (p = 0.476). Upper gastrointestinal acute GVHD occurred in 8.5% of patients with IBD and 3.5% of patients without IBD (p = 0.246). Lower gastrointestinal acute GVHD occurred in 10.6% of patients with IBD and 11.8% of patients without IBD (p = 0.845). The cumulative incidence of acute GVHD grades II-IV was 30% (CI 17-43%) in patients with IBD and 20% (CI 12-29%) in patients without IBD (p = 0.09). Five-year overall survival was equivalent for patients with and without IBD: 80% [CI 66-89%] and 83% [CI 72-90%], respectively (p = 0.689). All 33 surviving evaluable patients with a history of IBD experienced resolution of IBD by 2 years following allogeneic HCT. CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort, allogeneic HCT was curative for CGD-associated IBD. IBD should not contraindicate HCT, as it does not lead to an increased risk of mortality.

The Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) is enrolling children with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) to a prospective natural history study. We analyzed patients treated with allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) from 2010 to 2014, including 68 patients with typical SCID and 32 with leaky SCID, Omenn syndrome, or reticular dysgenesis. Most (59%) patients were diagnosed by newborn screening or family history. The 2-year overall survival was 90%, but was 95% for those who were infection-free at HCT vs 81% for those with active infection (P = .009). Other factors, including the diagnosis of typical vs leaky SCID/Omenn syndrome, diagnosis via family history or newborn screening, use of preparative chemotherapy, or the type of donor used, did not impact survival. Although 1-year post-HCT median CD4 counts and freedom from IV immunoglobulin were improved after the use of preparative chemotherapy, other immunologic reconstitution parameters were not affected, and the potential for late sequelae in extremely young infants requires additional evaluation. After a T-cell-replete graft, landmark analysis at day +100 post-HCT revealed that CD3 < 300 cells/µL, CD8 < 50 cells/µL, CD45RA < 10%, or a restricted Vß T-cell receptor repertoire (<13 of 24 families) were associated with the need for a second HCT or death. In the modern era, active infection continues to pose the greatest threat to survival for SCID patients. Although newborn screening has been effective in diagnosing SCID patients early in life, there is an urgent need to identify validated approaches through prospective trials to ensure that patients proceed to HCT infection free. The trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01186913.

An array of monogenic immune defects marked by autoimmunity, lymphoproliferation, and hyperinflammation rather than infections have been described. Primary immune regulatory disorders pose a challenge to pediatric hematologists and oncologists. This paper focuses on primary immune regulatory disorders including autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) and ALPS-like syndromes, immunodysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked (IPEX) and IPEX-like disorders, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), CVID-like, and late-onset combined immunodeficiency (CID) disorders. Hyperinflammatory disorders and those associated with increased susceptibility to lymphoid malignancies are also discussed. Using a case-based approach, a review of clinical pearls germane to the clinical and laboratory evaluation as well as the treatment of these disorders is provided.

PURPOSE: Patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) are perceived to be at high risk for acquiring as well as developing complications from infections. There is little data describing the infection type and frequency these patients may acquire in the community or during hospital admissions. Data is critically needed in order to inform best practices on how to protect these vulnerable patients. METHODS: This is a retrospective study which included PID patients who were discharged from Children's National Health System (CNHS) from January 1, 2011, through August 31, 2017, and were assigned a discharge diagnosis code indicating PID. Hospitalizations that occurred in the study period were reviewed to extract information on the type of infections upon admission and during hospitalization. The rate of hospital acquired infections (HAIs) was calculated by the number of HAIs divided by the total number of days between date of admission and date of discharge or receiving the first bone marrow transplant, whichever the one came first. The rates were then compared to the HAI rate among oncology patients receiving treatment at CNHS during the same study period. RESULTS: During this study period, 33 PID patients were admitted 80 times for a total of 1855 patient days. Of these 80 admissions, 31 were due to an infection. Ten of the 31 admissions with severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID) were infection related, 4/4 in ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency due to gain of function mutation (IkappaBalpha) patients, 8/10 in Wiskott-Aldrich patients, 1/2 in STAT3 mutation patients, 1/1 in Hyper IGM patient, 1/5 in severe chronic active EBV (SCAEBV) patients, 1/1 NK defect, 2/21 in primary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis patients, 3/4 chronic granulomatous disease, and 0/1 congenital neutropenia. HAI occurred in 11 out of 80 admissions (13.75%). Patients with SCID had the highest HAI rate of 13.09 per 1000 patient days, followed by SCAEBV (11.10), IkappaBalpha (6.58), and Wiskott-Aldrich (4.91). Comparing to oncology patients in which the HAI rate was 0.92 per 1000 patient days. SCID patients had 11.7 (95% confidence interval 3.7-29; p < 0.001) and T cell defects excluding SCID had 4.8 (95% CI 1.0-14.8; p = 0.03) times greater risk of acquiring an infection during a hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with severe T cell defects such as SCID are at greater risk for infections in the community and in hospital settings. Additional infection prevention measures are likely needed when caring for these patients in a clinic or as an inpatient. Further studies are urgently needed to determine the most appropriate measures for these patients.
