[A report of successful surgical management of ASD, VSD and PDA associated with partial DiGeorge syndrome in infant].
We report an infantile male case of ASD, VSD and PDA associated with DiGeorge syndrome. The patient who was 58-day old presented the partial deficiency of cell-mediated immunity and normocalcemia before the admission to our hospital. We made semi-emergent operation because of increasing of lung congestion caused by repetitional infection of upper respiratory tract. Direct closure of the ASD, patch closure of the VSD and ligation of the PDA were performed successfully. He was suffered from severe pneumonia caused by MRSA in early postoperative stage. It was effective to give antibiotics and gamma-globulins.
