Abstract :
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency can manifest diversely, from isolated myopathy to multisystem involvement. Immune dysregulation has not been reported as a feature of the disease. We report a four-year old girl with failure to thrive, recurrent infections, developmental delay with hypotonia, and CoQ10 deficiency with impaired immune function, which improved after CoQ10 and immunoglobulin replacement therapy. Immune dysfunction in CoQ10 deficiency should be considered and treated appropriately.
