Case 10

A 3-year-old female child, born out of a second-degree consanguineous marriage, presented with history of recurrent multiple furunculosis over all the limbs. Cervical, axillary and inguinal lymph nodes were enlarged with moderate hepatosplenomegaly. Generalized hypopigmentation was noted all over the body. The ophthalmologic examination revealed horizontal nystagmus with hypo pigmentation of fundus. Peripheral smear and the bone marrow aspirate showed similar giant granules in the lymphocytes. Also, the neutrophilic and eosinophilic granules were larger in size with phagocytic vacuoles in the monocytes. A skin biopsy showed lack of melanin pigment in the basal layer of epidermis. there was also history of easy bruisability. what is the probable diagnosis?

  2. Diagnosis may be Chediak higashi syndrome. it is an autosomal recessive disorder of phagocytosis.
    In this disorder abnormalities in melanocytes leading to lack of skin and eye pigment.
    Defective fusion of phagosomes and lysosomes in phagocytes leads to recurrent infection as patient presented with history of recurrent multiple furunculosis over all the limbs.
    Platelets abnormalities and bleeding disorders are very common as patient show history of easy bruisability.

    Diagnosis: CHEDIAK HIGASHI SYNDROME
    Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare, inherited, complex, immune disorder that usually occurs in childhood characterized by reduced pigment in the skin and eyes (oculocutaneous albinism)

    Symptoms
    The symptoms of CHS may be apparent during early infancy. Hair is typically blond or light brown with a silvery tint. Affected children may be abnormally sensitive to light (photosensitivity) because of the reduced pigment in the eyes and skin, and may exhibit rapid, involuntary, eye movements (nystagmus)

    Diagnosis
    The diagnosis of CHS is usually made by the presence of ‘giant granules’ in microscopic analysis of white blood cells. ‘Giant inclusion bodies’ can also be seen in the cells that develop into white blood cells (leukocyte precursor cells) in the bone marrow.

    Lysosome is inlarge abnormaly and impaired in function of immune system so causes many fungal, viral

    Oculocutaneous albinism causee due to giant melanosome and it unable to contribute melanin in skin hair and eye called hypopigmentation , oculocutaneous albinism also cause of involuntary movement of eye called Nystagmus.Due to pathogen causes infection so activate immune system increase more number of eosinophils and neutrophils lymphocytes in bone marrow aspirate also there is large lysosome .
