Overview
Natural History
Complications
- Common complications of x-linked hyper-Ig M include:[1]
- Infection
- Viral
- Disseminated cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus infections
- Bacterial
- Cholangitis from Cryptosporidium parvum
- Fungal
- Disseminated
- Opportunistic Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia infections
- Viral
- Gastrointestinal tumors (carcinoid of pancreas, glucagonoma of pancreas)
- Lymphomas
- Epstein-Barr virus associated hodgkin's disease
- Infection
- Life-threatening complications in adolescents and young adults with x-linked hyper-Ig M include:[2]
- Liver disease
- Primary cirrhosis
- Carcinomas (bile duct carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, adenocarcinomas of the liver and gall bladder)
- Liver disease
- The activation-induced cysteine deaminase (AICDA) deficient patients are at an increased risk of developing inflammatory as well as autoimmune diseases like chronic arthritis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, and autoimmune thrombocytopenia.[3]
