Human adenovirus is an infectious agent that causes respiratory infections in adults and children. It has been found that immunocompromised children are highly susceptible to this pathogen, as it can swiftly evolve into severe pneumonia with multiple sequelae. Due to the lack of immunity in children, the body's response mechanisms to innate and acquired immunity are specialized.

AD-associated biomolecular changes also seem to be attenuated in carriers of the functionally advantageous variant of the KLOTHO gene (KL-VS) [2]. While KL-VS and CRF both appear to mitigate aspects of AD pathology, they have been exclusively studied in isolation.

AD04 is a potent adjuvant commonly used in vaccines and allergy immunotherapies to augment the magnitude and durability of the immune response. Our preliminary data come from a clinical Phase 2 study in which AD04 served as a control arm.

Background: Disseminated mycobacterium poses a significant risk for patients with NEMO deficiency. Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) corrects the NEMO defect in hematopoietic cells thus treating the immunodeficiency.
Methods: We present a patient with NEMO deficiency who successfully underwent HSCT despite a disseminated Mycobacterium szulgai infection.

Glycogen Storage Disease Type Ib (GSD-Ib) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder caused by mutations in SLC37A4, leading to a deficiency in glucose-6-phosphate translocase. This disorder is characterized by impaired glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis, resulting in clinical and metabolic manifestations. We report a three-month-old Moroccan female patient presenting with doll-like facies, hepatomegaly, dysmorphic features, and developmental delays.
