“…Patients with these symptoms are occasionally found to have antibody deficiency. [267][268][269][270][271][272][273][274] In some patients with immune abnormalities and infection-associated asthma, replacement doses of IVIG may eliminate the triggering infections and/or reduce the frequency and severity of pulmonary symptoms. This, in turn, may decrease the symptoms and morbidity of asthma.…”

Human immunoglobulin preparations for intravenous or subcutaneous administration are the cornerstone of treatment in patients with primary immunodeficiency diseases affecting the humoral immune system. Intravenous preparations have a number of important uses in the treatment of other diseases in humans as well, some for which acceptable treatment alternatives do not exist. We provide an update of the evidence-based guideline on immunoglobulin therapy, last published in 2006. Given the potential risks and inherent scarcity of human immunoglobulin, careful consideration of its indications and administration is warranted.

“…Several rheumatic illnesses may develop in patients with primary or acquired immunologic disorders. Individuals with primary defects in B cell antibody production, such as common variable immunodeficiency or selective IgA deficiency, and those with defects of complement components, have an increased prevalence of SLE or other autoimmune diseases [4,5,20]. Our patient had an IgA and IgG2 subclass deficiency at the time of diagnosis, moreover a low B cell count was found.…”

A 5-month-old girl developed intractable cerebral seizures and a global mental and motor retardation after a scheduled hexavalent vaccination. In the following years, recurrent fever, hepatosplenomegaly, and a pancytopenia indicated other organ system involvement. At the age of 4 years the diagnosis of a severe systemic autoimmune disorder was made, defined by highly elevated antinuclear antibody (ANA), smooth muscle antigen (SMA), extractable nuclear antigen, and decreased complement factors C3c and C4. Moreover, a low B cell count and an IgA and IgG2 subclass deficiency were found. After initiation of an immunosuppressive therapy as well as monthly intravenous immunoglobulin application, the clinical situation improved dramatically. Despite therapy and clinical improvement, there is still an intermittent elevation of ANA and SMA as well as decreased complement C4, a persistent low B cell count and an IgA deficiency. We propose the possibility of an underlying primary immunodeficiency with subsequent development of a severe systemic autoimmune disease possibly triggered by routine vaccination. The clinical features and laboratory tests are consistent with a systemic lupus erythematosus or lupus-like syndrome.
