Abstract: Patients with anti-interferon (IFN)-γ autoantibodies have weakened immune defenses against intracellular pathogens. Because of its low incidence and non-specific symptoms, diagnosis of anti-IFN-γ autoantibody syndrome is difficult to establish during the early stages of infection.… read more here.
