SCID

(OMENN
SYNDROME)

Ricardo Reis:

Male, 7 years old

Normal birth history

Parents have three normal children but have had two previous death after similar rash
complaint after 1 month old.

Soon after birth


10 loose bowel movements a
day
th day
17th
Rash: legs entire body
Hospital admission

During admission

Enlarged lymph nodes


Abscess drained: S.
aureus & C. albicans
Oral thrush

Immunologist consulted

Hospital examination
Purulent eye discharge
Normal eardrums
Lymph node (-)

Further examination

Blood test diff count:

X-Ray

Eosinophils 56% (N: <5%)


Monocyte 23% (N: 10%)
Neutrophils 5%
Lymphocytes 6% (N: 50%)

Low IgG, IgM and IgA: (-)


Very high IgE (7200 IU/ml N:
<50 IU/ml)

Thymic
Normal

shadow (-)
cor/pulmonale

Immunological
examination
Blood test
Absent B-cells
Scarce T cells
Poor respond to CD3
monoclonal antibody

FACS Analysis
No reaction to CD19
All lymphocytes are CD3+
90% coexpressed
CD45RO
65% coexpressed MHC II
80% CD4+
15% CD8+
Low T-cell repertoire
As these tests were carried
out, Ricardo died of PCP.

IMMUNOLOGICAL
BACKGROUND

Omenn syndrome: a variant of SCID

Mutant RAG-1 or RAG-2 genes no V(D)J


recombination
No B cells
Non-functioning T cells

of self-reactive T cells

CLINICAL ASPECTS

SCID

Extremely vulnerable to infections

Omenn Syndrome

Erythrodermia, chronic diarrhea, (opportunistic)


infections, failure to thrive, lymphadenopathy,
hepatosplenomegaly
Lab: Eosinophilia, low Igs but high IgE, absence
B-cells, low T-cell count.
Complications: Vaccines, infections (pneumocystis
jiroveci) lethal

DIAGNOSIS

Blood test: B- and T-cells (and markers),


leukocytes, immunoglobulins
Symptoms: failure to thrive, diarrhea, swollen
lymph nodes, inflammation of the skin, low T-cell
levels and no B-cells
DD:
Other SCID types: X-linked severe combined
immunodeficiency (X-SCID), Adenosine
deaminase deficiency
Hyper IgE syndrome (Job syndrome)
Histiocytosis

MANAGEMENT

Isolation
Bone marrow transplantation
