Incontinentia pigmenti

Incontinentia pigmenti (IP) is a rare X-linked dominant multi-systemic ectodermal dysplasia usually lethal in males and presenting neonatally in females with a bullous rash along Blashko's lines (BL) followed by verrucous plaques evolving over time to hyperpigmented swirling patterns. It is further characterized by teeth abnormalities, alopecia, nail dystrophy and affects occasionally the retina and the central nervous system (CNS).

Immunodeficiency

Failure of the immune system to protect the body adequately from infection, due to the absence or insufficiency of some component process or substance.

Our patient's symptoms overlapped with different IKBKG-associated phenotypes, including hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, incontinentia pigmenti, immunodeficiency, recurrent isolated invasive pneumococcal disease and anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia with immunodeficiency, osteopetrosis, and lymphedema.

Although all tests of immunologic function were normal in this patient, her history of recurrent and unusual infections is consistent with previous suggestions of an undefined immunodeficiency state associated with incontinentia pigmenti.
