PURPOSE: To study the changes in the immunological status in 2 children with cartilage hair hypoplasia (CHH). METHODS: A 4-6 year immunological follow-up from infancy. RESULTS: In infancy the children presented a combined T cell and B cell immunodeficiency which partly resolved in time. Mitogen-induced T cell proliferation values fluctuated but lymphopenia has remained constant. Both patients had no recent thymic emigrants (TREC). Both children have suffered from a prolonged viral infection. Hypogammaglobulinemia normalized during the first years of life but both children have a specific antibody deficiency (SAD). CONCLUSIONS: The changes in the immunological status in CHH patients emphasize the importance of a regular follow-up. SAD should be searched for in CHH. The absence of TRECs supports combined immunodeficiency and possible need of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
