Case#: 19 year old, Indian, male

DiseaseAssertion: APDS

FamilyInfo: Neither parent carried this mutation, suggesting a de novo origin.

CaseHPOFreeText: referred for the evaluation of chronic active EBV disease. The patient’s medical history revealed congenital stenosis of the left bronchus, recurrent sinopulmonary infections, and autism spectrum disorder with an IQ of 80–86. EBV seroconversion was identified at 7 years of age when the patient presented idiopathic abdominal lymphadenopathy. Furthermore, a previous laboratory examination revealed IgA deficiency and low IgG2 and IgG4 levels without an overarching diagnosis. Four months before presentation, the patient developed fatigue, fever, night sweats, hepatosplenomegaly, anemia, hepatitis, weight loss of 10 kg, and lymphadenopathy (Fig. 1). Serum EBV copy numbers were repeatedly > 1500/mL. Histology of the three lymph nodes did not reveal any evidence of malignant lymphoma, but rather a markedly positive EBV-encoded RNA (EBER). Chronically active EBV was diagnosed, and rituximab therapy of 500 mg weekly during 4 weeks was initiated. A stable condition without any additional immunosuppressive drugs was achieved for 3 months after which he developed high spiking fever, pneumonia, progressive lymphadenopathy, severe unexplained cardiomyopathy with progressive anemia, thrombocytopenia, and hyperferritinemia (Table ​(Table1).1). Malignant lymphoma was excluded and hemophagocytosis was detected in the bone marrow (Fig. 3A, B). The patient therefore fulfilled six out of eight diagnostic HLH-04 criteria (Table ​(Table2)2) [7]. His clinical status quickly deteriorated, and he developed acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ failure. Salvage therapy was initiated with high-dose steroids, sirolimus, and intravenous immunoglobulin. PI3K delta inhibitors were withheld due to heart and respiratory failure. Etoposide was withheld due to leucopenia and severe sepsis with systemic infection (hospital acquired pneumonia with H. influenza, not responding to treatment). Within 1 month, the patient died from cardiac failure with refractory pulmonary edema.

CaseHPOFreeText: Serum level of complements was low, such as C3, C4, and CH50. Serum level of IgM and IgE was elevated, but IgG and IgA was normal. Lung CT scan showed partial consolidation of left upper lung with bronchiectasis and left upper bronchial stenosis. Renal biopsy was also done because of persistent hematuria and proteinuria, and it displayed moderately increased mesangial matrix and mesangial hypercellularity under the light microscope; subepithelial deposits was noted, and some mesangial changes may be present as seen in electron microscopy. Immunofluorescence was positive for C1q, C3, IgG, IgM, and Fb (Fig. 2). The patient was given oral prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine combined with mycophenolate mofetil. Six months later, the level of complement was restored to normal, hematuria and proteinuria disappeared, and liver function returned to normal. He was currently receiving intravenous immunoglobulin in association with hydroxychloroquine, low-dose prednisolone, and mycophenolate mofetil, with a good efficacy.
