Congenital athymia can present with severe T cell lymphopenia (TCL) in the newborn period, which can be detected by decreased T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) on newborn screening (NBS). The most common thymic stromal defect causing selective TCL is 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11.2DS). T-box transcription factor 1 (TBX1), present on chromosome 22, is responsible for thymic epithelial development. Single variants in TBX1 causing haploinsufficiency cause a clinical syndrome that mimics 22q11.2DS. Definitive therapy for congenital athymia is allogeneic thymic transplantation. However, universal availability of such therapy is limited. We present a patient with early diagnosis of congenital athymia due to TBX1 haploinsufficiency. While evaluating for thymic transplantation, she developed Omenn Syndrome (OS) and life-threatening adenoviremia. Despite treatment with anti-virals and cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), life threatening adenoviremia persisted. Given the imminent need for rapid establishment of T cell immunity and viral clearance, the patient underwent an unmanipulated matched sibling donor (MSD) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT), ultimately achieving post-thymic donor-derived engraftment, viral clearance, and immune reconstitution. This case illustrates that because of the slower immune recovery that occurs following thymus transplantation and the restricted availability of thymus transplantation globally, clinicians may consider CTL therapy and HCT to treat congenital athymia patients with severe infections.

BACKGROUND: X-linked immunodysregulation syndrome with polyendocrinopathy and enteropathy (IPEX) is caused by FOXP3 gene mutations that block the generation of regulatory T lymphocytes. We report an 18-month-old boy with classic IPEX who underwent 2 hematopoietic stem cell transplantations (HSCTs). METHODS: The first HSCT from an unrelated 8/10 HLA-matched umbilical cord blood donor (UCB) was performed after a conditioning regimen consisting of treosulfan, fludarabine, thiotepa, and thymoglobulin. Due to complete rejection of the UCB transplant, a second transplantation from a 6/10 HLA-matched mother was performed after alpha-beta T-cell depletion. The second conditioning regimen consisted of busulfan, fludarabine, a single dose of cyclophosphamide 1 g/m2, and Grafalon (Neovii Pharmaceuticals, Rapperswil, Switzerland). The T-cell depletion product contained 15.06 x 106 CD34+ cells per kilogram body weight (BW) and 4.19 x 105 alpha-beta T lymphocytes per kilogram BW. Due to acute graft rejection, the boy was treated with thymoglobulin, and full donor chimerism in both T lymphocytes and mononuclear cells was achieved. The immunosuppressive therapy was stopped 1 year after transplantation. To date, the patient remains free from graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) and immunosuppression. CONCLUSIONS: HSCT after busulfan-based reduced-toxicity conditioning in patients with IPEX syndrome is feasible and well tolerated and can result in full donor engraftment. Monitoring of chimerism and aggressive therapy in cases of graft rejection are warranted due to the high reactivity of residual autologous T lymphocytes. T-cell depletion reduces the risk of GVHD and the need for steroid therapy, which is especially challenging in patients with diabetes.

This article presents a case study of a female patient with primary immunodeficiency, who underwent percutaneous nephrolithotripsy. The presence of a serious concomitant disease affects different aspects of preoperative and postoperative management of the patient. The choice of percutaneous nephrolithotripsy is necessitated by the need to render the patient stone free using a one-stage and the most effective surgical modality. The article describes the choice of antibacterial therapy to treat inflammatory complications in this category of patients. Broad-spectrum antibiotics should be used to prevent the onset of pyelonephritis, while pyelonephritis exacerbation requires administration of reserve antibiotics in combination with human immunoglobulin.

BACKGROUND: Good's syndrome (GS) is a rare disease characterized by thymoma, hypogammaglobulinemia, low or absent B-cells, decreased T-cells, an inverted CD4+/CD8+ T-cell ratio and reduced T-cell mitogen proliferative responses. GS is difficult to diagnose preoperatively due to its rarity and lack of typical symptoms, the characteristics of Chinese GS patients are still lacking. This study aimed to systematically review all the clinical, laboratory, and immunologic findings of reported cases of Chinese patients with GS. METHODS: We searched for case reports and articles up to January 2017 using PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wangfang database and China Science and Technology Journal Database with the following words in combinations as key words: "thymoma," "hypogammaglobulinemia," and "Good's syndrome." The text words and MeSH terms were entered depending on the databases characteristics. The reference lists from retrieved articles were also screened for additional applicable studies. The authors were restricted to Chinese. There was no language restriction. RESULTS: Forty-seven patients were reported in 27 studies. We found that GS has a nationwide distribution and that most cases (83%) have been described on the mainland of China. The initial clinical presentation is varied, ranging from symptoms related to the thymoma to infections resulting from immunodeficiency. Type AB (50%) is the most common histologic type of thymomas in Chinese GS patients according to the World Health Organization classification of thymomas. With respect to infection, sinopulmonary infection (74%) is the most common type, followed by skin infection (10%) and intestinal tract infection (10%). Diarrhea was presented in 36% of patients, and autoimmune manifestations were presented in 36% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: GS is a rare association of thymoma and immunodeficiency with a poor prognosis. Astute clinical acumen and increased awareness of the clinical and immunological profile of GS are needed to increase early diagnosis, that would benefit improved therapeutic effects.

OBJECTIVES: The only curative treatment for many patients with primary immunodeficiency disease is hematopoietic stem cell transplant. In this study, we report the transplant outcomes of patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Herein, we present the transplant outcomes of 20 patients with primary immunodeficiency disease seen at our center in Kayseri, Turkey, from 2010 to 2015. RESULTS: The disease distribution of the 20 patients were as follows: 6 patients with severe combined immunodeficiency, 4 patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, 2 patients with chronic granulomatous disease, 2 patients with type 2 Griscelli syndrome, 2 patients with B-cell deficiency plus bone marrow failure, 1 patient with severe congenital neutropenia, 1 patient with X-linked lymphoproliferative disease, 1 patient with T-cell deficiency plus relapsed non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and 1 patient with type 1 leukocyte adhesion deficiency. Of the 20 patients, 11 received related HLA-matched, 6 received haploidentical, 2 received unrelated HLA-matched, and 1 received HLA-mismatched transplant. The median age at transplant was 21 months, and median follow-up was 5 months. Overall survival rate was 65%. Mean engraftment times for neutrophils and platelets were 14.25 ± 3.08 and 24.7 ± 11.4 days. Graft-versus-host disease was observed in 30% of patients. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with primary immunodeficiency disease treated at our center had acceptable transplant outcomes. This study supports the use of hematopoietic stem cell transplant in patients with primary immunodeficiency disease.

Cartilage-hair hypoplasia is a rare metaphyseal chondrodysplasia characterized by diverse clinical manifestations and a high incidence of Hirschsprung disease. We present a male patient with cartilage-hair hypoplasia associated with severe intestinal obstruction. Genetic analysis of ribonuclease mitochondrial RNA-processing complex gene identified compound heterozygous mutations consisted with previously reported mutations: n.-14_3dupGAAGCTGAGGACGTGGT and n.183G > T. First, we considered that intestinal obstruction was due to an extensive type of Hirschsprung disease, but it was later confirmed as isolated hypoganglionosis. Isolated hypoganglionosis is rare and its therapeutic strategies are not well established. In cases of cartilage-hair hypoplasia associated with severe intestinal obstruction, the differential diagnosis of not only Hirschsprung disease, but also isolated hypoganglionosis, should be considered.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has oncogenic potential and has been implicated in the etiology of a wide range of malignancies. Certain EBV-driven neoplasms, such as smooth muscle tumors (SMTs), manifest typically in immunocompromised patients. In children, these neoplasms have been encountered in the setting of primary immune disorders, specifically severe combined and common variable immunodeficiency syndromes. Human immunodeficiency virus infection and posttransplant immunosuppression, in particular liver and kidney transplantation, likewise increase the risk in the pediatric population. The location of these neoplasms appears related to the type of immunodeficiency: in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome they are frequently located intracranially or intraspinally, whereas after transplant they usually involve the liver or lung. We report 2 distinct cases of EBV-related SMT, unique through their coassociated immunosuppressive state or location: the 1st occurred in a patient with immunodeficiency secondary to NEMO gene mutation following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; the 2nd developed in the orbit after heart transplant.

INTRODUCTION: Children with primary immunodeficiency have severe life-threatening infections and a higher prevalence of autoimmune problems, allergy and lymphoproliferative disorders. Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has been the only potentially curative option. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with primary immunodeficiency underwent allogenic stem cell transplantation in the period 1985-2011, and registered in the Spanish Working Party for Bone Marrow Transplantation in Children. RESULTS: One hundred and fifty nine patients underwent 173 allogenic stem cell transplantations, of whom 97 had severe combined immunodeficiency, 30 with immune dysregulation disorders, 25 Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and 21 phagocyte disorders. The median patient age at diagnosis was 6 months (range: 17 days - 168 months) and the median patient age at transplant was 12 months (range: 1 month - 189 months). The donors were 30 (19%) identical siblings, 40 (25%) alternative family donors, and 89 (56%) unrelated donors. The source of stem cells was bone marrow in 68 (43%), cord blood in 52 (33%), and peripheral blood in 39 (24%). Ninety eight (61.6%) are alive, 57 (35.9%) died. Event-free survival at 10 years was 63%, with 90% for children transplanted from identical siblings, 36% for those transplanted from alternative family donors, and 66% for those transplanted from unrelated donors. CONCLUSIONS: The best results have been obtained with identical siblings, but other options may be considered.

GVHD has been reported in 8-10% of children after small bowel transplant (SBTx). Immunodeficient children may be predisposed to aggressive, steroid-resistant GVHD. There exists a unique association of immunodeficiency in children with MIA (MIAI). We report on our SBTx experience in patients with the diagnosis of MIAI, their high incidence of GVHD, and the possible role of stem cell transplantation in these patients. We performed a review of records from children that underwent SBTx or that we evaluated for SBTx at our institution. We focused on the diagnoses of atresia, multiple intestinal atresia, immunodeficiency, and GVHD in our patient population. Children with MIAI are likely to experience severe GVHD following SBTx. MIAI correlated with a 100% incidence of GVHD in these patients. Of the five patients with MIAI that underwent SBTx, three succumbed to severe GVHD within 1-6 months after SBTx. One patient received stem cell transplant prior to SBTx and did not develop severe GVHD, but died from influenza nine months after SBTx. Our unique patient survives long-term, with engraftment of donor γ δ T cells. He has mild, persistent chronic GVHD. Atresia is a common referral diagnosis for SBTx. Patients with multiple atresias, especially MIAI, are at significant risk for the complication of GVHD following SBTx. We recommend careful immunologic assessment and antecedent stem cell transplant in children with MIAI prior to SBTx.

Introducción: Durante las últimas dos décadas el trasplante de progenitores hematopoyéticos (TPH) se ha consolidado como un tratamiento de primera línea para diversas enfermedades congénitas y adquiridas de la infancia. Los avances en el campo y la experiencia acumulada en el manejo de las complicaciones del TPH han reducido la mortalidad y mejorado la calidad de vida de los supervivientes. El 10% de los pacientes trasplantados en España son niños. Objetivos: Analizar la experiencia de TPH pediátrico de las tres unidades de trasplante existentes en las Comunidades Autónomas pertenecientes a la Sociedad de Pediatría de Asturias, Cantabria y Castilla y León (SCCALP). Pacientes y métodos: Estudio retrospectivo de los trasplantes realizados en pacientes pediátricos (≤ 18 años de edad) en el Hospital Central de Asturias, Marqués de Valdecilla y Clínico de Salamanca, analizando especialmente los resultados de la última década. Resultados: Las tres unidades de TPH pediátrico de la SCCALP realizan todos los tipos de trasplante. La media de TPH por año y unidad en los últimos 10 años fue de 5. La indicación más frecuente de TPH fue una enfermedad maligna. Una proporción significativa de pacientes con enfermedades congénitas recibieron un TPH alogénico. La supervivencia global de los pacientes trasplantados fue del 55-65%. Conclusiones: Las indicaciones y resultados del TPH pediátrico en los centros de la SCCALP son comparables a los de otros centros de nuestro entorno. La colaboración entre los servicios de hematología y pediatría hace posible el funcionamiento de unidades mixtas de trasplante
Introduction: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become a first line curative procedure in children and adolescents with a variety of malignant and non malignant life-threatening conditions. The enormous progress achieved in the field and the accumulated experience in the management of the complications related to the procedure in children have significantly reduced its mortality and improved the quality of life of the surviving patients. In Spain, up to 10% of the patients transplanted are children. Objective: To analyze the activity and results of pediatric HSCT in the centers of the Pediatric Society of Asturias, Cantabria and Castilla-León (SCCALP). Methods and patients: A retrospective analysis of the medical records of pediatric patients (aged ≤ 18 years) undergoing HSCT during the last 10 years at the HSCT Units of Salamanca, Oviedo and Santander. Results. HSCT centers of the SCCALP are allowed to perform all types of hematopoietic transplantation in children. A median of 5 procedures per year were performed at each unit over the last 10 years. The most common indication for a HSCT was a malignant disease while a significant proportion of patients with an inherited condition underwent an allogeneic transplantation. Overall survival for all patients was 55 to 65%. Conclusions: Indications and results of pediatric HSCT performed at the SCCALP centers are comparable to current practices. The procedure is safely performed in mixed (adult and pediatric) HSCT units when collaboration between the Hematologist and the Pediatrician is warranted
