Abstract

  • A normal development and lymphocyte count do not exclude a combined immunodeficiency

  • All males with Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia, hypogammaglobulinemia with normal IgM must be tested for CD40L deficiency

  • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative treatment currently available in CD40L deficiency and must be performed prior to the onset of a life-threatening complication and end organ damage
