Abstract Background Interferon-gamma receptor deficiency is a heterogeneous spectrum of disease which involves mutations in IFNGR1, IFNGR2 genes, and the downstream signaling proteins such as STAT1. These mutations are associated with immunodeficiency 27 A and 27B, making the patient prone to mycobacterial infections. Patients with this condition are also at increased risk for affliction with viral and bacterial infections, such as with the Herpesviridae family, Listeria, and Salmonella. Moreover, SH2B3 mutation is associated with autoimmune and lymphoproliferative conditions. Case presentation the patient was a 19-month-old infant girl who presented with a two-week history of fever. She had near-normal flowcytometry with high IgM and IgE. She had pneumonic infiltration in her chest and right hilar and para-aortic lymphadenopathy. PCR of whole blood for Aspergillus fumigatus came back positive. In her Whole Exome Sequencing she had IFNGR1 and SH2B3 mutations. Conclusion systemic fungal infections such as Aspergillosis can occur in patients with interferon-gamma receptor one deficiency. This type of immunodeficiency should be considered in treating patients with systemic Aspergillosis. |
