Monocytopenia with susceptibility to infections

Monocytopenia with susceptibility to infections is a rare, genetic, primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by profound circulating monocytopenia, B- and NK-cell lymphopenia and severe dentritic cell decrease, which manifests clinically with disseminated mycobacterial and viral infections, as well as opportunistic fungal and parasitic infections and frequent pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Predisposition to developping myeloid neoplasms is associated.

Guanine-adenine-thymine-adenine 2 (GATA2) mutated disorders include the recently described MonoMAC syndrome (Monocytopenia and Mycobacterium avium complex infections), DCML (dendritic cell, monocyte, and lymphocyte deficiency), familial MDS/AML (myelodysplastic syndrome/acute myeloid leukemia) (myeloid neoplasms), congenital neutropenia, congenital lymphedema (Emberger's syndrome), sensorineural deafness, viral warts, and a spectrum of aggressive infections seen across all age groups.
