Article Synopsis
  • Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and gene therapy (GT) are potential cures for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), but patients often face late-onset issues like persistent hepatitis.
  • A study of SCID patients revealed that 11 out of 44 experienced persistent hepatitis linked to chronic enteric viral infections, particularly enteric viruses not found in non-hepatitis SCID patients.
  • Treatments like retransplantation or gene therapy showed promise, as 5 patients achieved remission of hepatitis and viral clearance, highlighting the importance of addressing immune dysregulation in these patients.

Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the chest revealed a mass in the posterior mediastinum, extending from T8 to T11 with intraspinal involvement. A percutaneous core needle biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of Burkitt lymphoma.
