Presentation
We report fatal reticular dysgenesis in a premature infant presenting with severely decreased blood and bone marrow granulocytes and lymphocytes, an absent thymic shadow by x-ray film, and generalized lymphoid hypoplasia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Materno-fetal engraftment is usually present. Differential diagnosis Differential diagnosis includes all other forms of SCID. [orpha.net]
Age at presentation was Type: Article Title: Reticular dysgenesis: international survey on clinical presentation, transplantation, and outcome Open access status: An open access version is available from UCL Discovery DOI: 10.1182/blood-2016-11-745638 [discovery.ucl.ac.uk]

Weight Gain
Before parents know their baby has SCID they may seek help from their family doctor (GP) or local A&E because of repeated infections, poor weight gain or feeding problems, and the baby may be referred to a local paediatrician. [gosh.nhs.uk]
The disease’s incidence in children has been found to range between 27% and 40%. [56] Clinically, hepatic veno-occlusive disease is characterized by weight gain and fluid retention, tender hepatomegaly, jaundice, and ascites and can progress to fulminant [emedicine.medscape.com]

Death in Infancy
The simultaneous occurrence of severe neutropenia and lymphopenia is responsible for a high risk of death in infancy, and the predominance of bacterial and fungal infections supports neutropenia as the prevailing cause of death. [grantome.com]

Sore Throat
In most cases CMV does not cause any symptoms, but in some people flu-like symptoms, including a high temperature, sore throat and swollen glands, may occur. [gosh.nhs.uk]

Suggestibility
After bone marrow transplantation, Langerhans cells were present (n 2), suggesting that the defect is not related to keratinocyte dysfunction. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Management and treatment The only curative treatment for this disease is allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Prognosis Without treatment, patients die from septicemia within days after birth. [orpha.net]
Treatment will begin when the child is referred to one of these centres. [gosh.nhs.uk]
Treatment and outcome In the 10 patients, a total of 15 HSCT was performed. [doi.org]
Since PID diseases are rare, there are not enough patients at any single center to determine the full range of causes, natural history, or best methods of treatment. [clinicaltrials.ucsf.edu]
She had no response to granulocyte colony stimulating factor (rGCSF) treatment and died with sepsis at age of 2 months. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis Without treatment, patients die from septicemia within days after birth. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]
Without treatment, patients have a poor prognosis and die from septicemia within days after birth. Aggressive antibiotic management should be done in case of infection in intensive care setting with meticulous clinical monitoring. [xpertdox.com]
Prognosis Without treatment, patients die from septicemia within days after birth. Last updated: 7/1/2012 [rarediseases.info.nih.gov]

Etiology
Certain conditions have both an underlying etiology and multiple body system manifestations due to the underlying etiology. [icd10coded.com]
Etiology Reticular dysgenesis is characterized by profound neutropenia and T and natural killer (NK) cell lymphocytopenia, and is caused by mutations in the AK2 gene (1p34). [orpha.net]

Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology Reticular dysgenesis accounts for less than 2% of all SCID cases. The annual incidence has been estimated at 1/3,000,000-1/5,000,000. Both males and females are affected, and consanguinity has been noted in several families. [orpha.net]

Pathophysiology
Pathophysiology The genetic basis for RD is not known. Both males and females are affected. Consanguinity has been noted in several families, suggesting an autosomal inheritance. [odlarmed.com]

Prednisone and other immune-suppressing medicines are used to prevent excessive organ damage caused by the donor's immune cells. [webmd.com]
This is because infants diagnosed soon after birth can be started on preventative medications and other measures taken to prevent serious infections from very early on. [gosh.nhs.uk]

Three recipients also received anti-LFA1 antibody to prevent graft rejection. The mean number of nucleated cells per kilogram infused was 1.4 10 8 (range 0.4 to 29 10 8 ). [doi.org]
