Title: Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Norovirus-Induced Intestinal Failure in X-linked Agammaglobulinemia Cord-id: yyjqi2hw Document date: 2021_6_23

Snippet: Since the first clinical description in 1952, immunoglobulin replacement therapy remains the mainstay of treatment of patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). However, this therapy only replaces IgG isotype and does not compensate for the loss of Bruton tyrosine kinase in non-B-lymphocytes. Patients may still therefore develop complications despite current standard of care. Here, we describe an XLA patient with persistent chronic norovirus infection, refractory to treatment and causing i
Document: Since the first clinical description in 1952, immunoglobulin replacement therapy remains the mainstay of treatment of patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA). However, this therapy only replaces IgG isotype and does not compensate for the loss of Bruton tyrosine kinase in non-B-lymphocytes. Patients may still therefore develop complications despite current standard of care. Here, we describe an XLA patient with persistent chronic norovirus infection, refractory to treatment and causing intestinal failure. The patient underwent haematopoietic stem cell transplantation, curing XLA and allowed clearance of norovirus prior to humoral immunoreconstitution, suggesting non-humoral immunodeficiency in these patients.
