We describe the management of a patient with ADA-deficient Severe Combined Immune Deficiency maintained on PEG-ADA treatment throughout her pregnancy. ADA-deficient SCID (ADA-SCID) is rare but accounts for approximately 15% of all SCID cases. As a result of improved outcomes with definitive treatment such as hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) and now gene therapy, few patients remain on long-term therapy with weekly PEG-ADA enzyme replacement alone. Knowledge detailing the management of ADA-SCID patients on PEG-ADA replacement during pregnancy is valuable to clinical immunologists. [Extracted from the article] |
