Mycoplasma pneumonia in a patient with X-linked agammaglobulinemia

BMC Infect Dis. 2024 Sep 13;24(1):972. doi: 10.1186/s12879-024-09743-w.

Abstract

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), also referred to as Bruton's tyrosine kinase deficiency, is a rare genetic disorder that affects the immune system. We conducted genetic analysis on patients suffering from immunodeficiency by utilizing Next-Generation Sequencing techniques, as well as their closest relatives, to facilitate accurate diagnosis, offer genetic counseling services, and enhance our comprehension of XLA.

Keywords: Mycoplasma pneumonia; Primary immunodeficiency; X-linked agammaglobulinemia.
