Agammaglobulinemia is a congenital deficit of humoral immunity characterized by a decreased level or complete absence of immunoglobulins and profound reduction of B-lymphocytes associated with an increased risk of life-threatening bacterial infection. We report a case of invasive Pseudomonas aeruginosa severe skin and soft tissue infection treated with vacuum-assisted closure and antibiotics in a toddler with a previously unreported mutation of the Bruton tyrosin kinase gene.

Abstract

Agammaglobulinemia is a congenital deficit of humoral immunity characterized by a decreased level or complete absence of immunoglobulins and profound reduction of B-lymphocytes associated with an increased risk of life-threatening bacterial infection. We report a case of invasive Pseudomonas aeruginosa severe skin and soft tissue infection treated with vacuum-assisted closure and antibiotics in a toddler with a previously unreported mutation of the Bruton tyrosin kinase gene.
