Abstract:

X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome (XHIM) caused by CD40L mutations is a primary immunodeficiency condition that increases susceptibility to opportunistic infections. Disseminated cryptococcosis in XHIM is rarely reported in children. Here, we report two related boys who have a novel hemizygous frameshift c.208delC mutation of CD40L. They live in the western region of Thailand and developed disseminated cryptococcosis while receiving regular intravenous immunoglobulin supplementation.
