Article Synopsis
  • Yellow Nail Syndrome (YNS) is a rare condition marked by yellow, malformed nails, swelling due to lymphedema, and chronic lung issues, typically presenting in adulthood, with potential genetic links suggested.
  • Researchers conducted genetic sequencing and expression studies on 11 patients (6 with congenital YNS and 5 with sporadic YNS) to investigate its underlying causes.
  • Findings revealed biallelic variants in genes related to the Wnt/planar cell polarity pathway in congenital cases, indicating that defects in cellular organization could be key to understanding YNS's development, though the study's small sample size is a limitation.

A 13-year-old female with a history of congenital left lower leg lymphedema, multiple food allergies, including an immunoglobulin E mediated severe cow's milk allergy, and well-controlled moderate persistent asthma was hospitalized with left lower leg erysipelas and Group A Streptococcus septicemia. While hospitalized, immediately after exposure to cow's milk protein as an inactive ingredient within a probiotic, she developed anaphylaxis with respiratory failure requiring intubation. This is only the third reported case of anaphylaxis due to a probiotic.
