Abstract
IPEX (immune-dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, X-linked) syndrome is an autoimmune disorder with an often lethal outcome in spite of immunosuppressive therapy. We report the successful use of sirolimus in 3 patients with IPEX. The efficacy of sirolimus is probably due to its different mode of action compared to calcineurin-dependent agents.Entities:
