Abstract

PGM deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive disease, characterized by recurrent infections, lymphopenia, neutropenia, elevated IgE levels, eosinophilia, skeletal or neurological involvement, and reversed CD4+/CD8+ ratio

Patients present with either of the two scenarios, first; with early in life symptoms similar to severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) phenotype and a second, later in life with hyper IgE syndrome (HIES)-like presentation

Physicians should keep in mind PGM3 deficiency in patients with negative results for relevant SCID or HIES genes in accordance to their clinical presentation and phenotype
