TABLE 2.
Disorder | Clinical features | Infections and causes |
---|---|---|
α-Mannosidosis | Dysostosis multiplex, hepatomegaly, facial coarsening, developmental delay | Recurrent bacterial infections due to neutrophil chemotaxis defect |
Glycogen storage disease 1b/c | Hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, seizures | Recurrent mucous membrane ulcers, recurrent infections due to neutropenia and neutrophil dysfunction |
Transcobalamin II deficiency | FTT,a vomiting, megaloblastic anemia, increasing neurologic dysfunction | Oral ulcers, frequent infections; pancytopenia and hypogammaglobulinemia |
Branched-chain organic acidurias | 16 types with variable clinical features; typically include acidosis, neurologic signs, and cardiomyopathy; may present with a Reye's-like syndrome | Accumulation of toxic metabolites diminishes leukocyte function; 3-methylglutaconic aciduria type II (Barth syndrome) is associated with neutropenia |
FTT, failure to thrive.
