Article Synopsis
- MonoMAC syndrome, first identified in 2011, is a rare condition involving low monocytosis that makes individuals more vulnerable to various infections, particularly from nontuberculous mycobacteria.
- Caused by mutations in the GATA2 gene, the syndrome can also lead to a range of systemic infections, including fungal and viral diseases.
- Recent advancements in treatment, such as haploidentical allogeneic stem cell transplants, show promise for improving survival rates, and rheumatologists might increasingly encounter patients with related rheumatologic symptoms like erythema nodosum and arthralgias.
