Description
It is characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, severe diarrhea, facial dysmorphism, immunodeficiency, and hair abnormalities, mainly trichorrhexis nodosa (capillary fragility). Liver involvement and infections contribute to the poor prognosis of affected patients. Severe, persistent and intractable diarrhea is accompanied by severe malabsorption resulting in early and relentless protein-energy malnutrition and growth retardation. In some cases there may be skin abnormalities, heart abnormalities, and mild intellectual impairment.
Management
Intractable diarrhea requires parenteral (intravenous) nutrition for a variable period of time ranging from a few months to more than a decade, and in some cases, associated with enteral nutrition. Immunoglobulin supplementation may be necessary and antibody production should be monitored after vaccination. In severe liver disease, the only treatment option is a liver graft.
