Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome

Other primary cellular immunodeficiencies 

Some patients with less common cellular immunodeficiencies may have severe immunodeficiency with early onset and significant morbidity and mortality, while others have only mild problems. Patients with these types of deficiencies have some defect in their T cell (cellular) immune system, resulting in a different spectrum of infection problems than those individuals with typical antibody deficiency. These include deep-seated bacterial infections, viral and fungal infections, tuberculosis, and other mycobacterial infections. Cellular immunodeficiencies are usually more difficult to treat and may need cellular reconstitution via hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or, perhaps, gene therapy.
