  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 Two cases with recurrent infections of the ear or other organs were reported, and the immunological investigations of these children indicated their immunodeficiencies.

 The first case, 6-year-old girl, had repeated otitis media and subcutaneous abscesses in different places of her body. Her serum immunoglobulin G; and M levels were elevated, but IgE level was normal. Delayed hypersensitivity to fungal antigens were positive. Her neutrophiles were consistently defective in chemotaxis, and showed unique morphologic abnormalities.

 The second case, 2-year-old boy, has been sufferred from recurrent otitis media sinistra and otitis externa dextra. His major immunoglobulins (IgA, IgM, IgG) were absent or markedly reduced. Delayed hypersensitivity was negative. There-fore, he was diagnosed as having common variable immunodeficiency.

 In these children suspected of immunodeficiency, not only immunoglobulin levels, but also complements, lymphocytes, and neutrophil function should be investigated.
