Summary: | Schimke immune-osseous dysplasia (SIOD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder
characterized by spondylo-epiphyseal dysplasia (SED), progressive renal insufficiency beginning
as steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and defective cellular immunity. This article
reports a case from Egypt with a mild form of SIOD. A 14.5-year-old male patient presented with
disproportionate short stature, SRNS (focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis), laboratory evidence
of cellular immune deficiency and radiologic characteristics of SED. He died at the age of
16.5 years with bone marrow failure and severe pneumonia. To the best of our knowledge, this is
the first case of SIOD to be reported from Egypt. |
