Inmunodeficiencia combinada severa (SCID) en Neiva, Colombia. Reporte de caso
2019
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-month-old 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.
