Abstract
OS is a variant of SCID characterized by generalized erythroderma, alopecia, eosinophilia, and elevated IgE levels. It is fatal unless treated with allogeneic HSCT, which is the only curative approach. However, treatment related complications and graft rejection are major obstacles to the success of treatment. In this report, we describe a patient with OS, complicated by prolonged cytomegalovirus infection, successfully treated by reduced intensity conditioning allogeneic HSCT from sibling donor.Entities:
