LH is the former 977-g product of a 31-week gestation born by Cesarean section to a 32-year-old gravida 2 para 1 white female whose gestation was complicated by decreased fetal movement but no evidence of intrauterine infection. At five months of age, weight and height were markedly below the 5th percentile and bilateral otitis media and oral thrush were noted. Laboratory data at eight months of age revealed IgG< t0 mg/dl (normal 241-613 mg/dl), lgM< 7 mg/dl (normal 26-60 m~ dl) and IgA< 8 mg/dl (normal 10-46 mg/dl); B cells were absent, and mitogen response of lymphocytes was depressed (Table 3 below). CVID was diagnosed based on immunological criteria, and treatment with intravenous immune globulin (1VIG) 400 mg/kg/week was initiated.Colonoscopy revealed a rectal stricture at 5 cm from the anal verge. Upper gastrointestinal series demonstrated multiple dilated small bowel loops and barium enema confirmed a rectosigmoid stricture. Closttqdium difficile toxin was present, and the infection was treated with oral vancomycin for 10 days. A loop colostomy and a rectal mucus fistula were established. Four weeks after initial surgery, esophagogastroduodenoscopy with biopsies was normal; colonic biopsies revealed inflamed colonic mucosa with cryptitis and crypt abscess without granuloma. Treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone, sulfasalazine, mesalamine enemas, and total parenteral nutrition was started but were ineffective. Routine intestinal cultures were negative.
