Abstract EN
A 13-year-old boy was diagnosed at the age of three years as having hyper IgM Immunodeficiency syndrome (HIgM).
It is a rare congenital disease characterized by recurrent infections and very low level of serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA) and elevated IgM.
Conservative treatment with antibiotics and regular intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) was not satisfactory.
At the age of five, the patient developed Hodgkin's lymphoma, which was treated successfully with chemotherapy.
Experience with Bone Marrow Transplantation (BMT) in such cases is limited as a definitive treatment for this kind of syndromes.
He was transplanted from his HLA-matched sister, and three years post BMT follow-up he showed good clinical recovery and immunoreconstitution.
