Abstract
Patients with X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) have additional risk for autoimmune disorders
Arthritis is the most common rheumatologic manifestation in boys with XLA and is reported in 15–20% of patients
Immunosuppressive therapy for arthritis worsens immunodeficiency and contributes the development of severe infections. Early diagnosis and proper treatment may help optimize clinical outcomes for these patients
