摘要
X-linked hyper IgM (X-HIGM) syndrome is a combined immunodeficiency disease caused by mutations in the CD40LG gene, leading to a defect in immunoglobulin (Ig) class switching recombination and effector T-cell responses. X-HIGM patients usually present in early life with pyogenic bacterial and opportunistic infections. Herein, we report a previously healthy 13-year-old Thai boy who first presented with cutaneous and meningoencephalitis cryptococcosis. Whole-exome sequencing revealed that he was hemizygous for a missense c.514T>C (p.Tyr172His) in CD40LG, confirming a diagnosis of X-HIGM. This report demonstrates that X-HIGM could have an age of onset in teens and systemic cryptococcosis could be its presenting symptoms.
