COVID-19 and X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) – insights from a monogenic antibody deficiency
Purpose of review The clinical outcomes from COVID-19 in monogenic causes of predominant antibody deficiency have pivotal implications for our understanding of the antiviral contribution of humoral immunity.

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a monogenic primary immune deficiency characterized by very low levels of immunoglobulins and greatly increased risks for recurrent and severe infections.

Tubulointerstitial nephritis complicating IVIG therapy for X-linked agammaglobulinemia [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) develop immune-complex induced diseases such as nephropathy only rarely, presumably because their immunoglobulin (Ig) G concentration is low.

Primary agammaglobulinemia result from specific alterations in B cells, which lead to low antibody production. Diagnostic suspicion is established with a history of repeated infections, low immunoglobulins, and absence of CD19+ B lymphocytes.

Deletion within the Src homology domain 3 of Bruton's tyrosine kinase resulting in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). [PDF]
The gene responsible for X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) has been recently identified to code for a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase (Bruton's agammaglobulinemia tyrosine kinase, BTK), required for normal B cell development. BTK, like many other cytoplasmic

Late diagnosis of agammaglobulinemia in an 8-year-old boy
Chromosome X-linked Bruton agammaglobulinemia is classified as a primary immunodeficiency disorder. It is a genetic condition associated with a mutation in the BTK gene encoding tyrosine kinase.

BACKGROUND Late-onset complications in X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) are increasingly recognized. Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) has been reported in primary immunodeficiency but data in XLA are limited. OBJECTIVE To describe NRH prevalence,

Community-acquired Acinetobacter calcoaceticus pneumonia in a patient with agammaglobulinaemia
We herein describe the case of a 38-year-old patient with congenital agammaglobulinemia who presented with community-acquired pneumonia; acute respiratory failure with sepsis ensued requiring ICU admission, mechanical ventilation and vasopressors ...
