Simultaneous Streptococcus Pneumoniae, Giardia Lamblia and Campylobacter Pylori Infection: An Adult Presentation of X-Linked Hypogammaglobulinaemia

Abstract

Primary X-linked (Bruton's) hypogammaglobulinaemia is uncommon. It usually presents clinically within the first two years of life — Typically after the age of three months when maternal IgG is exhausted.1 Its diagnosis in middle life is exceptional. The presentation of the condition as a triple infection in a middle-aged man therefore seemed worthwhile reporting, as effective and safe prophylactic immunotherapy is now available.
