Severe West Nile virus and Sars-CoV-2 infections in a patient with thymoma and anti-type I IFN antibodies.
The current study aimed to investigate determinants of severity in a previously healthy patient who experienced two life-threatening infections, from West Nile Virus and SARS-CoV2. During COVID19 hospitalization he was diagnosed with a thymoma, retrospectively identified as already present at the time of WNV infection. Heterozygosity for p.Pro554Ser in the TLR3 gene, which increases susceptibility to severe COVID-19, and homozygosity for CCR5 c.554_585del, associated to severe WNV infection, were found. Neutralizing anti-IFN-α and anti-IFN-ω auto-antibodies were detected, likely induced by the underlying thymoma and increasing susceptibility to both severe COVID-19 pneumonia and West Nile encephalitis.
期刊介绍:
Published continuously since 1904, The Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID) is the premier global journal for original research on infectious diseases. The editors welcome Major Articles and Brief Reports describing research results on microbiology, immunology, epidemiology, and related disciplines, on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of infectious diseases; on the microbes that cause them; and on disorders of host immune responses. JID is an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America.
