Abstract
Immunological health has been challenging to characterize but could be defined as the absence of immune pathology. While shared features of some immune diseases and the concept of immunologic resilience based on age-independent adaptation to antigenic stimulation have been developed, general metrics of immune health and its utility for assessing clinically healthy individuals remain ill defined. Here we integrated transcriptomics, serum protein, peripheral immune cell frequency and clinical data from 228 patients with 22 monogenic conditions impacting key immunological pathways together with 42 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Despite the high penetrance of monogenic lesions, differences between individuals in diverse immune parameters tended to dominate over those attributable to disease conditions or medication use. Unsupervised or supervised machine learning independently identified a score that distinguished healthy participants from patients with monogenic diseases, thus suggesting a quantitative immune health metric (IHM). In ten independent datasets, the IHM discriminated healthy from polygenic autoimmune and inflammatory disease states, marked aging in clinically healthy individuals, tracked disease activities and treatment responses in both immunological and nonimmunological diseases, and predicted age-dependent antibody responses to immunizations with different vaccines. This discriminatory power goes beyond that of the classical inflammatory biomarkers C-reactive protein and interleukin-6. Thus, deviations from health in diverse conditions, including aging, have shared systemic immune consequences, and we provide a web platform for calculating the IHM for other datasets, which could empower precision medicine.

Abstract
Neutrophils collectively migrate to sites of injury and infection. How these swarms are coordinated to ensure the proper level of recruitment is unknown. Using an ex vivo model of infection, we show that human neutrophil swarming is organized by multiple pulsatile chemoattractant waves. These waves propagate through active relay in which stimulated neutrophils trigger their neighbors to release additional swarming cues. Unlike canonical active relays, we find these waves to be self-terminating, limiting the spatial range of cell recruitment. We identify an NADPH-oxidase-based negative feedback loop that is needed for this self-terminating behavior. We observe near-constant levels of neutrophil recruitment over a wide range of starting conditions, revealing surprising robustness in the swarming process. This homeostatic control is achieved by larger and more numerous swarming waves at lower cell densities. We link defective wave termination to a broken recruitment homeostat in the context of human chronic granulomatous disease.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is caused by an impaired respiratory burst reaction in phagocytes. CGD is an X-linked (XL) (caused by pathogenic variants in CYBB) or autosomal recessive inborn error of immunity (caused by pathogenic variants in CYBA, NCF1, NCF2, or CYBC1). Female carriers of XL-CGD and unfavorable lyonization may present with the partial or full picture of CGD. Patients with CGD are at increased risk for invasive bacterial and fungal infections of potentially any organ, but especially the lymph nodes, liver, and lungs. Pathogens most frequently isolated are S. aureus and Aspergillus spp. Autoinflammation is difficult to control with immunosuppression, and patients frequently remain dependent on steroids. To diagnose CGD, reactive oxygen intermediates (O2 - or H2O2) generated by the NADPH oxidase in peripheral blood phagocytes are measured upon in vitro activation with either phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) and/or TLR4 ligands (E. coli or LPS). Conservative treatment requires strict hygienic conduct and adherence to antibiotic prophylaxis against bacteria and fungi, comprising cotrimoxazole and triazoles. The prognosis of patients treated conservatively is impaired: for the majority of patients, recurrent and/or persistent infections, autoinflammation, and failure to thrive remain lifelong challenges. In contrast, cellular therapies (allogeneic stem cell transplantation or gene therapy) can cure CGD. Optimal outcomes in cellular therapies are observed in individuals without ongoing infections or inflammation. Yet cellular therapies are the only curative option for patients with persistent fungal infections or autoinflammation.

Abstract
Sterile pyogranulomas and heightened cytokine production are hyperinflammatory hallmarks of Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD). Using peritoneal cells of zymosan-treated CGD (gp91phox-/-) versus wild-type (WT) mice, an ex vivo system of pyogranuloma formation was developed to determine factors involved in and consequences of recruitment of neutrophils and monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMacs). Whereas WT cells failed to aggregate, CGD cells formed aggregates containing neutrophils initially, and MoMacs recruited secondarily. LTB4 was key, as antagonizing BLT1 blocked neutrophil aggregation, but acted only indirectly on MoMac recruitment. LTB4 upregulated CD11b expression on CGD neutrophils, and the absence/blockade of CD11b inhibited LTB4 production and cell aggregation. Neutrophil-dependent MoMac recruitment was independent of MoMac Nox2 status, BLT1, CCR1, CCR2, CCR5, CXCR2, and CXCR6. As proof of concept, CD11b-deficient CGD mice developed disrupted pyogranulomas with poorly organized neutrophils and diminished recruitment of MoMacs. Importantly, the disruption of cell aggregation and pyogranuloma formation markedly reduced proinflammatory cytokine production.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inborn error of immunity that typically manifests with infectious complications. As the name suggest though, inflammatory complications are also common, often affecting the gastrointestinal, respiratory, urinary tracts and other tissues. These can be seen in all various types of CGD, from X-linked and autosomal recessive to X-linked carriers. The pathogenetic mechanisms underlying these complications are not well understood, but are likely multi-factorial and reflect the body's attempt to control infections. The different levels of neutrophil residual oxidase activity are thought to contribute to the large phenotypic variations. Immunosuppressive agents have traditionally been used to treat these complications, but their use is hindered by the fact that CGD patients are predisposed to infection. Novel therapeutic agents, like anti-TNFa monoclonal antibodies, anakinra, ustekinumab, and vedolizumab offer promise for the future, while hematopoietic stem cell transplantation should also be considered in these patients.

Abstract
Introduction Loss of NADPH oxidase activity results in proinflammatory macrophages that contribute to hyperinflammation in Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD). Previously, it was shown in a zymosan-induced peritonitis model that gp91phox-/- (CGD) monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMacs) fail to phenotypically mature into pro-resolving MoMacs characteristic of wild type (WT) but retain the ability to do so when placed in the WT milieu. Accordingly, it was hypothesized that soluble factor(s) in the CGD milieu thwart appropriate programming. Methods We sought to identify key constituents using ex vivo culture of peritoneal inflammatory leukocytes and their conditioned media. MoMac phenotyping was performed via flow cytometry, measurement of efferocytic capacity and multiplex analysis of secreted cytokines. Addition of exogenous TNFα, TNFα neutralizing antibody and TNFR1-/- MoMacs were used to study the role of TNFα: TNFR1 signaling in MoMac maturation. Results More extensive phenotyping defined normal MoMac maturation and demonstrated failure of maturation of CGD MoMacs both ex vivo and in vivo. Protein components, and specifically TNFα, produced and released by CGD neutrophils and MoMacs into conditioned media was identified as critical to preventing maturation. Exogenous addition of TNFα inhibited WT MoMac maturation, and its neutralization allowed maturation of cultured CGD MoMacs. TNFα neutralization also reduced production of IL-1β, IL-6 and CXCL1 by CGD cells though these cytokines played no role in MoMac programming. MoMacs lacking TNFR1 matured more normally in the CGD milieu both ex vivo and following adoptive transfer in vivo. Discussion These data lend mechanistic insights into the utility of TNFα blockade in CGD and to other diseases where such therapy has been shown to be beneficial.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by life-threatening infections and inflammatory conditions. Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the definitive treatment for CGD, but questions remain regarding patient selection and impact of active disease on transplant outcomes. We performed a multi-institutional retrospective and prospective study of 391 patients with CGD treated either conventionally (non-HCT) enrolled from 2004 to 2018 or with HCT from 1996 to 2018. Median follow-up after HCT was 3.7 years with a 3-year overall survival of 82% and event-free survival of 69%. In a multivariate analysis, a Lansky/Karnofsky score <90 and use of HLA-mismatched donors negatively affected survival. Age, genotype, and oxidase status did not affect outcomes. Before HCT, patients had higher infection density, higher frequency of noninfectious lung and liver diseases, and more steroid use than conventionally treated patients; however, these issues did not adversely affect HCT survival. Presence of pre-HCT inflammatory conditions was associated with chronic graft-versus-host disease. Graft failure or receipt of a second HCT occurred in 17.6% of the patients and was associated with melphalan-based conditioning and/or early mixed chimerism. At 3 to 5 years after HCT, patients had improved growth and nutrition, resolved infections and inflammatory disease, and lower rates of antimicrobial prophylaxis or corticosteroid use compared with both their baseline and those of conventionally treated patients. HCT leads to durable resolution of CGD symptoms and lowers the burden of the disease. Patients with active infection or inflammation are candidates for transplants; HCT should be considered before the development of comorbidities that could affect performance status. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT02082353.

Abstract
Primary immune deficiency (PID) is a large group of diseases characterized by defective immune function, leading to recurrent infections, and immune dysregulation. Clinical presentations, severity, and complications differ for each disease, based on the components of the immune system that are impacted. When patients with PID present with respiratory symptoms, infections should be initially suspected, investigated, and promptly managed. However, non-infectious complications of PID also frequently occur and can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. They can involve both the upper and lower respiratory systems, resulting in various presentations that mimic infectious diseases. Thus, clinicians should be able to detect these conditions and make an appropriate referral to an immunologist and a pulmonologist for further management. In this article, we use case-based scenarios to review the differential diagnosis, investigation, and multidisciplinary treatment of non-infectious pulmonary complications in patients with primary immune deficiencies.

Abstract
Neutrophils exhibit self-amplified swarming to sites of injury and infection. How swarming is controlled to ensure the proper level of neutrophil recruitment is unknown. Using an ex vivo model of infection, we find that human neutrophils use active relay to generate multiple pulsatile waves of swarming signals. Unlike classic active relay systems such as action potentials, neutrophil swarming relay waves are self-extinguishing, limiting the spatial range of cell recruitment. We identify an NADPH-oxidase-based negative feedback loop that is needed for this self-extinguishing behavior. Through this circuit, neutrophils adjust the number and size of swarming waves for homeostatic levels of cell recruitment over a wide range of initial cell densities. We link a broken homeostat to neutrophil over-recruitment in the context of human chronic granulomatous disease.

Abstract
The exact etiopathogenesis of Kawasaki disease (KD), the most common childhood vasculitis, remains unknown; however, an aberrant immune response, possibly triggered by an infectious or environmental agent in genetically predisposed children, is believed to be the underlying pathogenetic mechanism. Patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI) are predisposed to infections that trigger immune dysregulation due to an imbalance in various arms of the immune system. KD may develop as a complication in both primary and secondary immunodeficiencies. KD may occur either at disease presentation or have a later onset in IEIs. These include X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA), selective IgA deficiency, transient hypogammaglobulinemia of infancy; Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS), hyper IgE syndrome (HIES); chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), innate and intrinsic immunity defects, and autoinflammatory diseases, including PFAPA. Hitherto, the association between KD and IEI is confined to specific case reports and case series and, thus, requires extensive research for a comprehensive understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. IEIs may serve as excellent disease models that would open new insights into the disease pathogenesis of children affected with KD. The current review highlights this critical association between KD and IEI supported by published literature.

Abstract
Congenital defects of neutrophil number or function are associated with a severe infectious phenotype that may require intensive medical attention and interventions to be controlled. While the infectious complications in inherited neutrophil disorders are easily understood much less clear and explained are autoimmune and autoinflammatory phenomena. We survey the clinical burden of autoimmunity/autoinflammation in this setting, search for common patterns, discuss potential mechanisms and emerging treatments.

Abstract
Neutrophils are cells of the innate immune system that are extremely abundant in vivo and respond quickly to infection, injury, and inflammation. Their constant circulation throughout the body makes them some of the first responders to infection, and indeed they play a critical role in host defense against bacterial and fungal pathogens. It is now appreciated that neutrophils also play an important role in tissue healing after injury. Their short life cycle, rapid response kinetics, and vast numbers make neutrophils a highly dynamic and potentially extremely influential cell population. It has become clear that they are highly integrated with other cells of the immune system and can thus exert critical effects on the course of an inflammatory response; they can further impact tissue homeostasis and recovery after challenge. In this review, we discuss the fundamentals of neutrophils in host defense and healing; we explore the relationship between neutrophils and the dynamic host environment, including circadian cycles and the microbiome; we survey the field of neutrophils in asthma and allergy; and we consider the question of neutrophil heterogeneity-namely, whether there could be specific subsets of neutrophils that perform different functions in vivo.

Abstract
We report the case of a patient with chronic granulomatous disease and acne treated with isotretinoin, who developed a diffuse staphylococcal skin infection during the therapy. Chronic granulomatous disease is a rare genetic disorder characterized by an altered innate immunity with an increased risk of potentially lethal bacterial and fungal infections. Although chronic granulomatous disease is rare, acne is a common manifestation in these patients, but there are no data about the gold standard therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This article presents a patient who was initially diagnosed as having granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), and was later diagnosed as having chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) in adulthood. We aimed to raise awareness of CGD, which can be confused with rheumatic diseases. CASE REPORT We present a 33-year-old male patient with CGD with recurrent opportunistic bacterial and fungal infections who was diagnosed as having GPA, and had a history of recurrent lung infections and brain abscesses since childhood. The patient, who had cavitary lesions in the lung and mucosal lesions in the nose, was diagnosed as having GPA based on antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody positivity. CGD was suspected in his last hospitalization after the patient underwent a nitro blue tetrazolium test. Accordingly, neutrophil oxidative function was tested using a dihydrorhodamine assay, which confirmed CGD. Molecular analysis of the patient revealed that the NCF1 gene had a GT deletion at the beginning of exon 2. Our patient was diagnosed as having late-onset CGD; he is currently well and taking antibiotic prophylaxis. CONCLUSION As a result of the altered humoral immune response in CGD, there is unregulated inflammation and sustained antigen stimulation. This excessive inflammatory response can be confused with autoimmune diseases and cause delays in diagnosis. This case is important in the differential diagnosis of CGD in adult patients with recurrent opportunistic infections.

Abstract
In addition to being a vital organ for gas exchange, the lung is a crucial immune organ continuously exposed to the external environment. Genetic defects that impair immune function, called inborn errors of immunity (IEI), often have lung disease as the initial and/or primary manifestation. Common types of lung disease seen in IEI include infectious complications and a diverse group of diffuse interstitial lung diseases. Although lung damage in IEI has been historically ascribed to recurrent infections, contributions from potentially targetable autoimmune and inflammatory pathways are now increasingly recognized. This article provides a practical guide to identifying the diverse pulmonary disease patterns in IEI based on lung imaging and respiratory manifestations, and integrates this clinical information with molecular mechanisms of disease and diagnostic assessments in IEI. We cover the entire IEI spectrum, including immunodeficiencies and immune dysregulation with monogenic autoimmunity and autoinflammation, as well as recently described IEI with pulmonary manifestations. Although the pulmonary manifestations of IEI are highly relevant for all age groups, special emphasis is placed on the pediatric population, because initial presentations often occur during childhood. We also highlight the pivotal role of genetic testing in the diagnosis of IEI involving the lungs and the critical need to develop multidisciplinary teams for the challenging evaluation of these rare but potentially life-threatening disorders.

Abstract
Rationale Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGID), including eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), are inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal mucosa mediated by complex immune mechanisms. Although there have been initial reports of EGID in patients with inborn errors of immunity (IEI), little is known about the presentation of EGID in immunodeficient individuals. Methods We queried the U.S. Immunodeficiency Network (USIDNET) for patient records including the terms eosinophilic esophagitis, gastritis, enteritis, or colitis. We analyzed 74 patient records from the database, including diagnoses, demographics, infectious history, laboratory findings, genetic studies, therapeutic interventions, and clinical outcomes. Results We examined 74 patient records. A total of 61 patients had isolated EoE, and 13 had distal gastrointestinal involvement consistent with EGID. The most common IEI were common variable immunodeficiency (43.2%), some form of combined immunodeficiency (21.6%), chronic granulomatous disease (8.1%), hyper-IgE syndrome (6.8%), and autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (6.8%). The median age at presentation with IEI was 0.5 years (IQR 1.725, max 39 years) and 56.76% were male. Approximately 20% of the patients in the cohort received a hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for treatment of IEI, but the timing of the HSCT in relationship to the EGID diagnosis was unknown. Conclusions Here, we report EGID in a diverse cohort of IEI patients, suggesting that both non-EoE EGID and EoE can be seen as comorbid conditions with a variety of IEI. Our data suggests that EGID may be more common in patients with IEI than would be expected based on estimates of EGID in the general population.

Abstract
Loss of NADPH oxidase activity leads to altered phagocyte responses and exaggerated inflammation in chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). We sought to assess the effects of Nox2 absence on monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMacs) in gp91phox-/y mice during zymosan-induced peritonitis. MoMacs from CGD and wild-type (WT) peritonea were characterized over time after zymosan injection. Although numbers lavaged from both genotypes were virtually identical, there were marked differences in maturation: newly recruited WT MoMacs rapidly enlarged and matured, losing Ly6C and gaining MHCII, CD206, and CD36, whereas CGD MoMacs remained small and were mostly Ly6C+MHCII-. RNA-sequencing analyses showed few intrinsic differences between genotypes in newly recruited MoMacs but significant differences with time. WT MoMacs displayed changes in metabolism, adhesion, and reparative functions, whereas CGD MoMacs remained inflammatory. PKH dye labeling revealed that although WT MoMacs were mostly recruited within the first 24 hours and remained in the peritoneum while maturing and enlarging, CGD monocytes streamed into the peritoneum for days, with many migrating to the diaphragm where they were found in fibrin(ogen) clots surrounding clusters of neutrophils in nascent pyogranulomata. Importantly, these observations seemed to be driven by milieu: adoptive transfer of CGD MoMacs into inflamed peritonea of WT mice resulted in immunophenotypic maturation and normal behavior, whereas altered maturation/behavior of WT MoMacs resulted from transfer into inflamed peritonea of CGD mice. In addition, Nox2-deficient MoMacs behaved similarly to their Nox2-sufficient counterparts within the largely WT milieu of mixed bone marrow chimeras. These data show persistent recruitment with fundamental failure of MoMac maturation in CGD.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare immunodeficiency disorder with genetic defects in the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase complex in phagocytes, leading to recurrent severe infections and granuloma formation. Genitourinary involvement, including obstructive granulomas, infections, nephrotoxicity of anti-infective agents, and amyloidosis, is frequently observed in patients with CGD, whereas the clinical and pathological details of the less commonly reported glomerular disease remain obscure. Here, we report the case of a patient with CGD who developed rapidly progressive IgA vasculitis-associated nephritis (IgAVN) and review the literature on biopsy-proven glomerular diseases in patients with CGD. A 22-year-old male patient with CGD developed rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) following peripheral purpura and was diagnosed with crescentic IgAVN based on the renal biopsy evaluation. There was no evidence of active infections, and he received pulse intravenous methylprednisolone followed by oral prednisolone. His renal function returned to normal within 4 weeks, and his proteinuria and microhematuria finally resolved. The present case and literature review indicate that IgAVN and IgA nephropathy with RPGN are the most common causes of glomerular disease in patients with CGD. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of these diseases as causes of RPGN in CGD, because delays in diagnosis and appropriate treatment may affect renal outcomes.

Abstract
During the last years, studies investigating the intriguing association between immunodeficiency and autoimmunity led to the discovery of new monogenic disorders, the improvement in the knowledge of the pathogenesis of autoimmunity, and the introduction of targeted treatments. Autoimmunity is observed with particular frequency in patients with primary antibody deficiencies, such as common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) and selective IgA deficiency, but combined immunodeficiency disorders (CIDs) and disorders of innate immunity have also been associated with autoimmunity. Among CIDs, the highest incidence of autoimmunity is described in patients with autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome 1, LRBA, and CTLA-4 deficiency, and in patients with STAT-related disorders. The pathogenesis of autoimmunity in patients with immunodeficiency is far to be fully elucidated. However, altered germ center reactions, impaired central and peripheral lymphocyte negative selection, uncontrolled lymphocyte proliferation, ineffective cytoskeletal function, innate immune defects, and defective clearance of the infectious agents play an important role. In this paper, we review the main immunodeficiencies associated with autoimmunity, focusing on the pathogenic mechanisms responsible for autoimmunity in each condition and on the therapeutic strategies. Moreover, we provide a diagnostic algorithm for the diagnosis of PIDs in patients with autoimmunity.

Abstract
The aorta and the large conductive arteries are immunoprivileged tissues and are protected against inflammatory attack. A breakdown of immunoprivilege leads to autoimmune vasculitis, such as giant cell arteritis, in which CD8+ Treg cells fail to contain CD4+ T cells and macrophages, resulting in the formation of tissue-destructive granulomatous lesions. Here, we report that the molecular defect of malfunctioning CD8+ Treg cells lies in aberrant NOTCH4 signaling that deviates endosomal trafficking and minimizes exosome production. By transcriptionally controlling the profile of RAB GTPases, NOTCH4 signaling restricted vesicular secretion of the enzyme NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2). Specifically, NOTCH4hiCD8+ Treg cells increased RAB5A and RAB11A expression and suppressed RAB7A, culminating in the accumulation of early and recycling endosomes and sequestering of NOX2 in an intracellular compartment. RAB7AloCD8+ Treg cells failed in the surface translocation and exosomal release of NOX2. NOTCH4hiRAB5AhiRAB7AloRAB11AhiCD8+ Treg cells left adaptive immunity unopposed, enabling a breakdown in tissue tolerance and aggressive vessel wall inflammation. Inhibiting NOTCH4 signaling corrected the defect and protected arteries from inflammatory insult. This study implicates NOTCH4-dependent transcriptional control of RAB proteins and intracellular vesicle trafficking in autoimmune disease and in vascular inflammation.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease caused by a combination of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. Recent advances in genetic analysis coupled with better understanding of different immune regulatory and signaling pathways have revealed the complex relationship between autoimmunity, including SLE, and immunodeficiency. Furthermore, the expanding therapeutic armamentarium has led to the increasing awareness of secondary immunodeficiency in these patients. This article serves to update the current understanding of SLE and immunodeficiency by discussing the shared genetic factors and immunobiology. We also summarize the effects of immunosuppressive therapies with a focus on secondary antibody deficiency (SAD) after B-cell targeted therapies.

Abstract
Lymphadenopathies can be part of the clinical spectrum of several primary immunodeficiencies, including diseases with immune dysregulation and autoinflammatory disorders, as the clinical expression of benign polyclonal lymphoproliferation, granulomatous disease or lymphoid malignancy. Lymphadenopathy poses a significant diagnostic dilemma when it represents the first sign of a disorder of the immune system, leading to a consequently delayed diagnosis. Additionally, the finding of lymphadenopathy in a patient with diagnosed immunodeficiency raises the question of the differential diagnosis between benign lymphoproliferation and malignancies. Lymphadenopathies are evidenced in 15–20% of the patients with common variable immunodeficiency, while in other antibody deficiencies the prevalence is lower. They are also evidenced in different combined immunodeficiency disorders, including Omenn syndrome, which presents in the first months of life. Interestingly, in the activated phosphoinositide 3‐kinase delta syndrome, autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome, Epstein–Barr virus (EBV)‐related lymphoproliferative disorders and regulatory T cell disorders, lymphadenopathy is one of the leading signs of the entire clinical picture. Among autoinflammatory diseases, the highest prevalence of lymphadenopathies is observed in patients with periodic fever, aphthous stomatitis, pharyngitis, and cervical adenitis (PFAPA) and hyper‐immunoglobulin (Ig)D syndrome. The mechanisms underlying lymphoproliferation in the different disorders of the immune system are multiple and not completely elucidated. The advances in genetic techniques provide the opportunity of identifying new monogenic disorders, allowing genotype–phenotype correlations to be made and to provide adequate follow‐up and treatment in the single diseases. In this work, we provide an overview of the most relevant immune disorders associated with lymphadenopathy, focusing on their diagnostic and prognostic implications.

Abstract
Very Early Onset Inflammatory Bowel Disease (VEO-IBD) represents a cohort of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients diagnosed before 6 years of age. Unlike IBD diagnosed at older ages, VEO-IBD can be associated with underlying primary immunodeficiencies. VEO-IBD has been linked to monogenic variations in over 70 genes involved in multiple pathways of immunity. As sequencing technologies and platforms evolve and become readily available, an increasing number of genes linked to VEO-IBD have emerged. Although monogenic defects are rare in VEO-IBD, diagnosis of these variants can often dictate specific treatment. In this mini-review, we set out to describe monogenic variants previously characterized in multiple patients in the literature that contribute to VEO-IBD, diagnostic tools, unique treatment modalities for specific genetic diagnoses, and future directions in the field of VEO-IBD. Although this mini-review is by no means comprehensive of all the novel monogenic variants linked to VEO-IBD, we hope to provide relevant information that is readily accessible to clinicians and educators.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs), which are humoral, combined, and innate defects of the immune system, are relatively uncommon and may go undiagnosed in patients experiencing recurrent infections, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. PIDs are clinically characterized by a broad spectrum of disorders, including repeated infections, autoimmune disorders, lymphoproliferative diseases, congenital anomalies, and increased risk of malignancy. Cardiothoracic imaging plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of PIDs owing to the high rates of repeated respiratory infections leading to bronchiectasis and other forms of chronic lung disease. Although PIDs as a group may seem similar in terms of radiologic features and clinical manifestations, there are specific entities that are pertinent to each PID on an individual level. For example, patients with common variable immunodeficiency may develop a unique granulomatous lymphocytic interstitial lung disease, and Good syndrome is associated with thymoma. Familiarity with the imaging characteristics of these disorders may expedite diagnosis and prognostication, and better direct therapy. Reviewing the thoracic manifestations of all PIDs is beyond the scope of this article; thus, the focus herein is on discussing the thoracic manifestations of the most common PIDs and their imaging features. © RSNA, 2021An earlier incorrect version appeared online.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), one of the phagocytic system defects, is the primary immunodeficiency caused by dysfunction of the NADPH oxidase complex which generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are essential for killing pathogenic microorganisms, especially catalase-positive bacteria and fungi. OBJECTIVE The objective of our study was to assess the clinical and laboratory characteristics, treatment modalities, and prognosis of patients with CGD. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 63 patients with CGD who have been diagnosed, treated, and/or followed-up between 1984 and 2018 in Hacettepe University, Ankara, in Turkey, as a developing country. RESULTS The number of female and male patients was 26/37. The median age at diagnosis was 3.8 (IQR: 1.0-9.6) years. The rate of consanguinity was 63.5%. The most common physical examination finding was lymphadenopathy (44/63), growth retardation (33/63), and hepatomegaly (27/63). One adult patient had squamous cell carcinoma of the lung. The most common infections were lung infection (53/63), skin abscess (43/63), and lymphadenitis (19/63). Of the 63 patients with CGD, 6 patients had inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Twelve of the 63 patients died during follow-up. CYBA, NCF1, CYBB, and NCF2 mutations were detected in 35%, 27.5%, 25%, and 12.5% of the patients, respectively. CONCLUSION We identified 63 patients with CGD from a single center in Turkey. Unlike other cohort studies in Turkey, due to the high consanguineous marriage rate in our study group, AR form of CGD was more frequent, and gastrointestinal involvement were found at relatively lower rates. The rate of patients who treated with HSCT was lower in our research than in the literature. A majority of the patients in this study received conventional prophylactic therapies, which highlight on the outcome of individuals who have not undergone HSCT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To report the phenotypic, genetic findings and outcome of children with lupus manifestations associated with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs). METHODS Data are retrospectively collected on patients with lupus manifestations and PIDs seen between 1998 and 2019. Data comprised the clinical findings and genetic testing, the response to treatment and the accrual damage related to SLE. RESULTS A total of 39 patients (22 female) were reviewed. Thirty-four patients had lupus manifestations and six patients with SLE-like manifestations. Genetic analysis was performed in 25 patients. Complement deficiency was the most frequent PIDs; 26 patients were C1q deficient, three patients had C3 deficiency, two patients had C4 deficiency and one patient with heterozygous C8b variant. The other seven patients had different PIDs genetic defects that include SCID caused by PNP deficiency, CGD, CVID (PIK3CD), IL-2RB mutation, DNase II deficiency, STAT1 mutation, ISG15 mutation and Griscelli syndrome type 3. Mucocutaneous lesions, arthritis and lung involvement were the main clinical features. 84.1% experienced recurrent infections. The mean accrual damage was 2.7 ± 2.2. There were five deaths because of infection. CONCLUSION This study suggests that patients with lupus manifestations and early onset disease, family history of SLE or recurrent infections should undergo immunological work-up and genetic testing to rule out PIDs.

Abstract
Immune deficiencies may alter normal lung function and protective mechanisms, resulting in a myriad of pulmonary manifestations. Primary immunodeficiencies involve multiple branches of the immune system, and defects may predispose to recurrent upper and lower respiratory infections by common pathogens; opportunistic infections; and autoimmune, inflammatory, and malignant processes that may result in interstitial pneumonias. Secondary immunodeficiencies may result from neoplasms or their treatment, organ transplant and immunosuppression, and from autoimmune diseases and their treatments. Primary and secondary immunodeficiencies and their pulmonary manifestations may be difficult to diagnose and treat. A multidisciplinary approach to evaluation is essential.

Abstract
Rationale: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are important regulators of inflammation. The exact impact of ROS/RNS on cutaneous delayed-type hypersensitivity reaction (DTHR) is controversial. The aim of our study was to identify the dominant sources of ROS/RNS during acute and chronic trinitrochlorobenzene (TNCB)-induced cutaneous DTHR in mice with differently impaired ROS/RNS production. Methods: TNCB-sensitized wild-type, NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2)- deficient (gp91phox-/-), myeloperoxidase-deficient (MPO-/-), and inducible nitric oxide synthase-deficient (iNOS-/-) mice were challenged with TNCB on the right ear once to elicit acute DTHR and repetitively up to five times to induce chronic DTHR. We measured ear swelling responses and noninvasively assessed ROS/RNS production in vivo by employing the chemiluminescence optical imaging (OI) probe L-012. Additionally, we conducted extensive ex vivo analyses of inflamed ears focusing on ROS/RNS production and the biochemical and morphological consequences. Results: The in vivo L-012 OI of acute and chronic DTHR revealed completely abrogated ROS/RNS production in the ears of gp91phox-/- mice, up to 90 % decreased ROS/RNS production in the ears of MPO-/- mice and unaffected ROS/RNS production in the ears of iNOS-/- mice. The DHR flow cytometry analysis of leukocytes derived from the ears with acute DTHR confirmed our in vivo L-012 OI results. Nevertheless, we observed no significant differences in the ear swelling responses among all the experimental groups. The histopathological analysis of the ears of gp91phox-/- mice with acute DTHRs revealed slightly enhanced inflammation. In contrast, we observed a moderately reduced inflammatory immune response in the ears of gp91phox-/- mice with chronic DTHR, while the inflamed ears of MPO-/- mice exhibited the strongest inflammation. Analyses of lipid peroxidation, 8-hydroxy-2'deoxyguanosine levels, redox related metabolites and genomic expression of antioxidant proteins revealed similar oxidative stress in all experimental groups. Furthermore, inflamed ears of wild-type and gp91phox-/- mice displayed neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation exclusively in acute but not chronic DTHR. Conclusions: MPO and NOX2 are the dominant sources of ROS/RNS in acute and chronic DTHR. Nevertheless, depletion of one primary source of ROS/RNS exhibited only marginal but conflicting impact on acute and chronic cutaneous DTHR. Thus, ROS/RNS are not a single entity, and each species has different properties at certain stages of the disease, resulting in different outcomes.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immune deficiency due to defects in phagocyte respiratory burst leading to severe and life-threatening infections. Patients with CGD also suffer from disorders of inflammation and immune dysregulation including colitis and granulomatous lung disease, among others. Additionally, patients with CGD may be at increased risk of systemic inflammatory disorders such as hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH). The presentation of HLH often overlaps with symptoms of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) or sepsis and therefore can be difficult to identify, especially in patients with a primary immune deficiency in which incidence of infection is increased. Thorough evaluation and empiric treatment for bacterial and fungal infections is necessary as HLH in CGD is almost always secondary to infection. Simultaneous treatment of infection with anti-microbials and inflammation with immunosuppression may be needed to blunt the hyperinflammatory response in secondary HLH. Herein, we present a series of X-linked CGD patients who developed HLH secondary to or with concurrent disseminated CGD-related infection. In two patients, CGD was a known diagnosis prior to development of HLH and in the other two CGD was diagnosed as part of the evaluation for HLH. Concurrent infection and HLH were fatal in three; one case was successfully treated, ultimately receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The current literature on presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of HLH in CGD is reviewed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Management of inflammatory complications of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is challenging. The aim of this study was to assess safety, with a focus on infections, and effectiveness of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) blockers in CGD patients. METHODS A retrospective, single-center cohort study of CGD patients treated by anti-TNF-α agents at Necker-Enfants Malades University Hospital (Paris, France) and registered at the French National Reference Center for Primary Immunodeficiencies (CEREDIH). RESULTS Between 2006 and 2019, 14 (X-linked: n = 10, 71.4%; autosomal-recessive: n = 4, 28.6%) CGD patients with gastrointestinal (n = 12, 85.7%), pulmonary (n = 10, 71.4%), cutaneous (n = 3, 21.4%), and/or genitourinary (n = 2, 14.3%) inflammatory manifestations received one or more doses of infliximab because of steroid-dependent (n = 7, 50%), refractory (n = 4, 28.6%) inflammatory disease or as first-line drug (n = 2, 14.3%; missing data, n = 1). All patients received adequate antimicrobial prophylaxis. Infliximab achieved complete (n = 2, 14.3%) or partial (n = 9, 64.3%) response in 11 (78.6%) patients. Seven (50%) patients were switched to adalimumab. During anti-TNF-α treatment, 11 infections (pneumonia, adenitis, invasive candidiasis, each n = 2; intra-abdominal abscess, bacteremic salmonellosis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa-related folliculitis, cat-scratch disease, proven pulmonary mucormycosis, each n = 1) occurred in 7 (50%) patients. All infectious complications had a favorable outcome. Anti-TNF-α treatment was definitively stopped because of infection in two patients. Nine (64.3%) patients finally underwent hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. No death occurred during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Anti-TNF-α treatment could improve the outcome of severe inflammatory complications in CGD patients, but increases their risk of infections. We suggest that anti-TNF-α treatment might be of short-term benefit in selected CGD patients with severe inflammatory complications awaiting hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Abstract
Angiotensin II type 1 receptor activating autoantibodies (AT1R-AAs) have gained attention in solid organ transplant as non-HLA antibodies associated with rejection, vasculopathy, and graft dysfunction. These antibodies have also been reported in the context of pre-eclampsia, scleroderma, and isolated hypertension. Here, we present 3 post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) cases with patients demonstrating elevated levels of AT1R-AAs detected within the first year post-HSCT. All patients had hypertension, and 2 patients exhibited profound diarrhea and hypokalemia. The hypertension, in all cases, was refractory to multiple classes of antihypertensives. Upon autoantibody identification, an angiotensin receptor blocker, losartan, was promptly initiated, and all patients showed blood pressure improvement. The 2 patients with electrolyte disturbances had rapid normalization of these levels and resolution of the diarrhea. These cases demonstrate a previously unreported association of elevated AT1R-AA levels in post-HSCT patients with a rapid response to angiotensin receptor blockade initiation.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare but serious primary immunodeficiency with varying prevalence and rates of X-linked and autosomal recessive disease worldwide. Functional defects in the phagocyte nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase complex predispose patients to a relatively narrow spectrum of bacterial and fungal infections that are sometimes fastidious and often difficult to identify. When evaluating and treating patients with CGD, it is important to consider their native country of birth, climate, and living situation, which may predispose them to types of infections that are atypical to your routine practice. In addition to recurrent and often severe infections, patients with CGD and X-linked female carriers are also susceptible to developing many non-infectious complications including tissue granuloma formation and autoimmunity. The DHR-123 oxidation assay is the gold standard for making the diagnosis and it along with genetic testing can help predict the severity and prognosis in patients with CGD. Disease management focuses on prophylaxis with antibacterial, antifungal, and immunomodulatory medications, prompt identification and treatment of acute infections, and prevention of secondary granulomatous complications. While hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation is the only widely available curative treatment for patients with CGD, recent advances in gene therapy may provide a safer, more direct alternative.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder caused by defects in the NADPH oxidase complex. Mutations in NCF2 encoding the cytosolic factor p67phox result in autosomal recessive CGD. We describe three patients with a novel c.855G>C NCF2 mutation presenting with diverse clinical phenotype. Two siblings were heterozygous for the novel mutation and for a previously described exon 8-9 duplication, while a third unrelated patient was homozygous for the novel mutation. Mutation pathogenicity was confirmed by abnormal DHR123 assay and absent p67phox production and by sequencing of cDNA which showed abnormal RNA splicing. Clinically, the homozygous patient presented with suspected early onset interstitial lung disease and NCF2 mutation was found on genetic testing performed in search for surfactant-related defects. The two siblings also had variable presentation with one having history of severe pneumonia, lymphadenitis, and recurrent skin abscesses and the other presenting in his 30s with discoid lupus erythematosus and without significant infectious history. We therefore identified a novel pathogenic NCF2 mutation causing diverse and unusual clinical phenotype.

Abstract
Modern era advancements in medical care, with improved treatment of infections, can result in delayed diagnosis of congenital immunodeficiencies. In this study we present a retrospective cohort of 16 patients diagnosed with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) at adulthood. Some of the patients had a milder clinical phenotype, but others had a classic phenotype with severe infectious and inflammatory complications reflecting a profoundly impaired neutrophil function. It is therefore of great importance to investigate the individual journey of each patient through different misdiagnoses and the threads which led to the correct diagnosis. Currently the recommended definitive treatment for CGD is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Although survival of our patients to adulthood might argue against the need for early HSCT during infancy, we claim that the opposite is correct, as most of them grew to be severely ill and diagnosed at a stage when HSCT is debatable with potentially an unfavorable outcome. This cohort stresses the need to increase awareness of this severe congenital immunodeficiency among clinicians of different specialties who might be treating undiagnosed adult patients with CGD.

Abstract
Pediatricians are unfamiliar with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) because of its rarity and paucity of available data, potentially leading to misdiagnosis, late treatments, and mortality. The main purpose of this study was to summarize the clinical manifestations and auxiliary examination findings of four children with CGD confirmed by genetic testing.This was a case series study of children hospitalized at the Pediatric Respiratory Department of Shandong Provincial Hospital. The clinical, laboratory, treatment, and prognosis data were analyzed.All 4 children were boys. Two were brothers. The children's age was from 34 days to 3 years and 2 months at disease onset. The manifestations were repeated pulmonary infection, lymphadenitis, skin infection, and granuloma formation. Pulmonary infections were common. Abnormal responses were common after BCG vaccination. Thoracic computed tomography (CT) mainly showed nodules and masses, while the consolidation area in CT images reduced slowly. No abnormalities in cellular immune functions and immunoglobulin were found. The disease in all four children was confirmed by genetic testing. Long-term antibiotics and anti-fungal drugs were needed to prevent bacterial and fungal infections.CGD should be considered in children with repeated severe bacterial and fungal infections. Abnormal responses after BCG vaccination and nodular or mass-shaped consolidation in thoracic CT images should hint toward CGD. Gene sequencing could provide molecular evidence for diagnosis. The treatments of CGD include the prevention and treatment of infections and complications. Immunologic reconstitution treatment is currently the only curative treatment for CGD.

Systemic Redox Imbalance in Patients with Chronic Granulomatous Disease. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9051397.

Abstract
The aim of our study was to evaluate redox status, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant barriers, oxidative damage of proteins, lipids and DNA, as well as concentration of coenzyme Q10 and vitamins A and E in patients with chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). The study was performed on fifteen Caucasian individuals (median age 24 years and seven months) diagnosed with CGD. The mutation in the NCF1 gene was confirmed in ten patients, and in the CYBB gene in five patients. We demonstrated high levels of total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI), lipids (↑8-isoprostanes (8-isoP), ↑4-hydroxynonenal (4-HNE)), proteins (↑advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP)) and DNA (↑8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG)) oxidation products in CGD individuals as compared to sex- and age-matched healthy controls. We showed enhanced serum enzymatic activity of catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase-1 (SOD) and significantly decreased coenzyme Q10 concentration. Our study confirmed redox disturbances and increased oxidative damage in CGD patients, and indicated the need to compare redox imbalance depending on the type of mutation and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity. The question regarding effectiveness of antioxidant therapy in patients with CGD is open, and the need to establish guidelines in this area remains to be addressed.

Neutrophil swarming delays the growth of clusters of pathogenic fungi. Nat Commun 2020; 11:2031.

Abstract
Neutrophils employ several mechanisms to restrict fungi, including the action of enzymes such as myeloperoxidase (MPO) or NADPH oxidase, and the release of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs). Moreover, they cooperate, forming “swarms” to attack fungi that are larger than individual neutrophils. Here, we designed an assay for studying how these mechanisms work together and contribute to neutrophil's ability to contain clusters of live Candida. We find that neutrophil swarming over Candida clusters delays germination through the action of MPO and NADPH oxidase, and restricts fungal growth through NET release within the swarm. In comparison with neutrophils from healthy subjects, those from patients with chronic granulomatous disease produce larger swarms against Candida, but their release of NETs is delayed, resulting in impaired control of fungal growth. We also show that granulocyte colony-stimulating factors (GCSF and GM-CSF) enhance swarming and neutrophil ability to restrict fungal growth, even during treatment with chemical inhibitors that disrupt neutrophil function. Neutrophils employ several mechanisms to control the growth of fungi, including enzymes, reactive oxygen species, extracellular traps, and formation of “swarms”. Here, Hopke et al. study how the different mechanisms work together, using an in vitro assay with human neutrophils and clusters of live Candida cells.

Infectious and digestive complications in glycogen storage disease type Ib: Study of a French cohort. Mol Genet Metab Rep 2020; 23:100581.

Abstract
Glycogenosis type Ib (GSD1B) causes not only hypoglycemia but also infections and “Crohn's disease like” inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can significantly impair patient's quality of life. We retrospectively evaluated infectious and digestive complications in 9 French patients (3 girls, 6 boys) diagnosed at 0.8 years on average, with a mean follow-up of 19.1 years. Infections occurred earlier than IBD, at mean ages of 1.7 and 3.8 years, respectively. The number of acute hospitalizations was 0.7/year due to infectious (0.4/year) or digestive symptoms (0.4/year). Clinical presentations allowed separating patients into mild (n = 5) and severe (n = 4) intestinal involvement. Patients in the severe group had more serious digestive symptoms but also earlier neutropenia (median 0.3 vs. 1.5 years, p =0 .046) with a tendency to a lower neutrophil count (NC) during follow-up, and a higher number of acute hospitalizations (median 1.3/year vs. 0.2/year, p =0 .014) due to digestive symptoms (median 0.6/year vs. 0.05/year, p = 0,012) and infections (median 0.8/year vs. 0.2/year, p =0 .014). Treatments included G-CSF and cotrimoxazole (n = 7), 5-aminosalicylic acid (n = 2), and a polymeric solution enriched in the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-β (n = 4, “severe” group), and immunomodulatory treatment (n = 1). In conclusion, infections and IBD are rare but severe complications in GSD1B. Neutropenia tended to be more prevalent in the severe IBD group than in the mild IBD group. Dietetic treatment with specific anti-inflammatory solutions seems particularly appropriate in these patients.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a primary immunodeficiency disorder marked by abnormal phagocytic function. CGD affects primarily neutrophils and manifests as an early predisposition to severe life-threatening infections. Additionally, patients with CGD are predisposed to unique autoimmune manifestations. While generally spared from infectious complications, heterozygous carriers of the abnormal genes implicated in CGD pathogenesis can still present with autoimmune disorders. A mutation in the CYBB gene is the only X-linked variant of this disease. This article describes a family with the CYBB mutation, its heterogenous presentation, and reviews the literature discussing disease management.

Abstract
Primary disorders of neutrophil function result from impairment in neutrophil responses that are critical for host defense. This chapter summarizes inherited disorders of neutrophils that cause defects in neutrophil adhesion, migration, and oxidative killing. These include the leukocyte adhesion deficiencies, actin defects and other disorders of chemotaxis, hyperimmunoglobulin E syndrome, Chédiak-Higashi Syndrome, neutrophil specific granule deficiency, chronic granulomatous disease, and myeloperoxidase deficiency. Diagnostic tests and treatment approaches are also summarized for each neutrophil disorder.

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is the most common phagocyte defect disease. Here, we describe 114 CGD patients in our center and report a rare female infant with XL-CGD to provide a better understanding of diagnosis, treatment, and prenatal diagnosis of CGD. METHOD Patients were diagnosed by DHR-1,2,3 flow cytometry assays and gene analysis. X chromosome inactivation analysis and gp91phox protein test were used for a female infant with XL-CGD. RESULTS XL-CGD accounts for the majority of cases in China and results in higher susceptibility to some infections than AR-CGD. The DHR assay can help diagnose CGD quickly, and atypical results should be combined with clinical manifestations, genetic analysis, and regular follow-up. For prenatal diagnosis, both gDNA and cDNA genotypes of amniotic fluid cells should be identified, and cord blood DHR assays should be performed to identify female XL-CGD patients.

Abstract
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited defect of phagocyte function due to defective NADPH oxidase. Patients with CGD are not able to effectively clear the infections because of the defect in the phagocyte production of oxygen free radicals and are prone to recurrent bacterial and fungal infections. Inflammatory complications are also noted in CGD such as colitis, non-infective granulomas causing gastrointestinal or urinary tract obstruction, hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, and arthritis. Studies on toll-like receptor pathways and neutrophil extracellular traps in CGD have shed light on the role of NADPH oxidase in the innate immunity and pathogenesis of infections in CGD. Some reports also indicate a reduction of memory B cells and defective production of functional antibodies in CGD. Though the exact mechanisms for non-infective inflammatory complications in CGD are not yet clear, studies on efferocytosis and defective autophagy with inflammasome activation have made a substantial contribution to our understanding of the pathogenesis of inflammation in CGD. We also discuss the clinical and molecular features of p40phox defects and a newer genetic defect, EROS. Clinical phenotypes of X-linked carriers of CYBB are also discussed.

Abstract
Primary immunodeficiencies affecting the function of neutrophils and other phagocytic leukocytes are notable for an increased susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections as a result of impaired leukocyte recruitment, ingestion, and/or killing of microbes. The underlying molecular defects can also impact other innate immune responses to infectious and inflammatory stimuli, leading to inflammatory and autoimmune complications that are not always directly related to infection. This review will provide an update on congenital disorders affecting neutrophil function in which a combination of host defense and inflammatory complications are prominent, including nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate oxidase defects in chronic granulomatous disease and β2 integrin defects in leukocyte adhesion deficiency.

Abstract
Granulomatous-Lymphocytic Interstitial Lung disease (GLILD) is a granulomatous and lymphoproliferative condition occurring in ~25% of Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) patients with the highest prevalence in the late teen to young adult years. GLILD was first described in adults and carries a poor prognosis with survival estimated to be reduced by half. Here we report a pediatric case of CVID-associated GLILD that presented with rapid deterioration over 3 months and responded to adult-based treatment with dual chemotherapeutic agents (rituximab and azathioprine), resulting in complete resolution of clinical findings and near complete resolution of radiologic findings. This case highlights the opportunity to achieve a favorable outcome in GLILD following appropriate diagnosis and therapy.

Congenital disorders of the immune system affecting maturation and/or function of phagocytic leucocytes can result in severe infectious and inflammatory complications with high mortality and morbidity. Further complications include progression to MDS/AML in some cases. Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment for most patients with these diseases. In this review, we provide a detailed update on indications and outcomes of alloHSCT for congenital neutrophil disorders, based on data from the available literature.
