Incidence and risk factors for CMV and EBV infection in infants with low T-cell receptor excision circles on newborn screen
Background
Newborn screening for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) using T cell receptor excision circles (TRECs) identifies patients with other causes of lymphopenia. The risk of opportunistic infection in patients with non-SCID lymphopenia is poorly understood. We aim to describe incidence and risk factors associated with cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in patients with low TRECs.
Methods
This retrospective study analyzed 289 patients with ≥1 abnormal TREC result.
Results
Nineteen patients had CMV or EBV detected by PCR. Most had resolution of infection (n = 13). Two have chronic viremia, and four expired due to disseminated CMV. Risk factors included undetectable TRECs, consanguinity, family history, low NK, naïve CD4, naïve CD8 cells, and phytohemagglutinin.
Conclusion
Infection with CMV and EBV in patients with low TRECs is rare, however some may benefit from preventative measures. Consideration of risk factors may aid in decision-making and improve outcomes.
