Abstract

Major histocompatibility complex class II expression deficiency is an autosomal recessive primary combined immunodeficiency. The prevalence of this deficiency is the highest in Mediterranean areas, especially North Africa. Early diagnosis is essential due to high mortality in the first 2 years of life. Prognosis is very poor when bone marrow transplantation cannot be performed. We report the case of an infant with major histocompatibility complex class II expression deficiency revealed by hypoxemic bronchiolitis due to Pneumocystis jiroveci.

12. Congenital pulmonary alveolar proteinosis.

Author

Abstract

Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare syndrome characterized by pulmonary surfactant accumulation within the alveolar spaces. It occurs with a reported prevalence of 0.1 per 100,000 individuals. Two clinically different pediatric types have been defined as congenital PAP which is fatal and a late-onset PAP which is similar to the adult form and less severe. The clinical course of PAP is variable, ranging from spontaneous remission to respiratory failure. Whole-lung lavage is the current standard treatment for PAP patients. We report a new congenital case of PAP.

Abstract

Introduction: Venous thromboembolic complications are well-known in patients with nephrotic syndrome. Arterial thrombosis has rarely been reported and is mainly observed in adults., Case Report: A 9-year-old patient with a history of steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome was admitted after foot trauma. He presented with severe pain in his right foot, which was cold and mottled, with reduced sensation and motor activity. No pulse was palpable in his right foot. Doppler's ultrasonography confirmed the thrombosis of anterior and posterior tibial arteries in their distal portions. The patient received treatment with an arterial vasodilator and heparin, followed by antivitamin K therapy., Conclusion: Arterial thrombosis is a rare complication in children with nephrotic syndrome. It is presumably attributable to a hypercoagulable state and trauma., (Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.)
