Abstract: Interleukin receptor associated kinase (IRAK)- 4 deficiency is a rare disorder of primary innate immunity. Anecdotal evidence has existed for more than a decade and although major pathogens are bacteria, rare instances of infection with fungi and opportunistic organisms have also been reported. We report a case of a female infant presenting with recurrent bacterial infections with Group B streptococci and Pseudomonas aeruginosa secondary to IRAK-4 deficiency.
Keywords: IRAK-4 deficiency, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Group B streptococcus, infant.
