ORTIZ-POLANCO, Silvia Patricia et al. Severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in Neiva, Colombia: Case Report. rev.fac.med. [online]. 2019, vol.67, n.1, pp.161-164. ISSN 0120-0011. https://doi.org/10.15446/revfacmed.v67n1.56918.
Introduction:
Primary immunodeficiencies are genetic disorders of the immune system that increase susceptibility to infections. One of the most serious forms in children is severe combined immunodeficiency.
Case presentation:
This is the report of the case of an 8-monthold male patient who was diagnosed with severe combined immunodeficiency. The child presented a clinical profile consisting of multiple hospitalizations due to cytomegalovirus infection, endocarditis by Candida albicans and recurrent urinary tract infection by Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
The immune profile showed a decrease in the absolute number of CD3+ and CD19+ cells, which led to the diagnosis of severe combined immunodeficiency. Even though management was established, the child did not recover and died.
Conclusions:
The primary immunodeficiencies are disorders that require timely intervention to provide a better prognosis to patients.
