This case study delves into a y/o boy/girl with infections and immune dysregulation, including T cell deficiency. Factors such as consanguinity, family history of infections, and tolerance of live vaccinations are explored. Clinical manifestations of immune dysregulation in the skin, gut, lung, lymphoproliferation, and granuloma formation are discussed. Syndromal disease aspects like neurodevelopmental delay, microcephaly, and other abnormalities are investigated. The evidence of T cell deficiency includes CD4 and CD8 counts, T cell percentages, and other investigative procedures. Various immunological, genetic, and previous treatment aspects are covered extensively.
