- W2161437581 abstract "RationalePatients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) who acquire parainfluenza type 3 (PI3) respiratory infections may not clear these potentially fatal infections. We report the successful use of ribavirin in 2 patients with SCID for PI3 before immune reconstitution.ResultsRibavirin is a nucleoside antimetabolite antiviral drug with activity against several DNA and RNA viruses.Patient 1 was a 3-month-old male who presented with PI3 and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). Immune evaluation demonstrated IL2RG SCID. He was treated with ribavirin for the PI3 infection, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for PCP. The patient's respiratory status normalized with subsequent negative respiratory viral cultures and discontinuation of the ribavirin. The patient redeveloped cough and tachypnea along with positive PI3 on respiratory viral cultures and the ribavirin restarted. His respiratory status improved again, and the ribavirin was continued until successful bone marrow transplant from an HLA matched sibling. The ribavirin was then discontinued with subsequent negative respiratory viral cultures.Patient 2 was a 5-month-old female who presented with pneumonia with growth of Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, adenovirus (AV), and PI3 from a BALF and CMV retinitis. Immune evaluation showed RAG1 SCID. She was treated with IVIG, ceftazidime, tobramycin, gancyclovir, fluconazole, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Ribavirin was given and stopped after 5 weeks with negative viral cultures for both AV and PI3. AV and PI3 were subsequently again isolated and ribavirin was again given until successful umbilical cord transplantation was done.ConclusionsWe report two SCID patients treated successfully with long-term ribavirin until immune reconstitution.
