Infections in patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
2005
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (OMIM 260400) is a multisystemic disorder characterized by pancreatic insufficiency, bone marrow dysfunction, skeletal abnormalities and immune dys- function. Prompted by the case of a 13-year-old girl with Shwachman- Diamond syndrome who presented with pneumonia attributable to Pseudomonas aeruginosa, we review infectious complications of this disease. Pneumonia, recurrent otitis media and skin infections/abscesses constitute the majority of infections among these children.
