Abstract
Interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) deficiency is a rare immunodeficiency marked by impaired IL-6 signaling, affecting the inflammatory response and respiratory health. In this report, pediatric patients with IL-6R deficiency presented with a spectrum of respiratory symptoms, from mild to severe infections, but did not commonly develop early bronchiectasis. Due to the absence of typical inflammatory markers in lung infections, routine imaging is advised to monitor for potential complications, even in the absence of overt clinical signs.
期刊介绍:
Pediatric Pulmonology (PPUL) is the foremost global journal studying the respiratory system in disease and in health as it develops from intrauterine life though adolescence to adulthood. Combining explicit and informative analysis of clinical as well as basic scientific research, PPUL provides a look at the many facets of respiratory system disorders in infants and children, ranging from pathological anatomy, developmental issues, and pathophysiology to infectious disease, asthma, cystic fibrosis, and airborne toxins. Focused attention is given to the reporting of diagnostic and therapeutic methods for neonates, preschool children, and adolescents, the enduring effects of childhood respiratory diseases, and newly described infectious diseases.
PPUL concentrates on subject matters of crucial interest to specialists preparing for the Pediatric Subspecialty Examinations in the United States and other countries. With its attentive coverage and extensive clinical data, this journal is a principle source for pediatricians in practice and in training and a must have for all pediatric pulmonologists.
