Severe combined immunodeficiency associated with hyperimmunoglobulinaemia E, eosinophilia and impaired neutrophil chemotaxis.
A boy with severe combined immunodeficiency was found to have coexistent hyperimmunoglobulinaemia E, eosinophilia and impaired neutrophil chemotaxis. Based on the literature, a deficient regulatory function of the T-cell system is proposed as the basic defect leading to the observed impairment of the cellular and humoral immunity and, probably through hyper-immunoglobulinaemia E, to defective neutrophil chemotaxis.
