A Novel Case of Homozygous Interferon Alpha/Beta Receptor Alpha Chain (IFNAR1) Deficiency With Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis.

ABSTRACT: We present a case of complete deficiency of the interferon alpha/beta receptor alpha chain (IFNAR1) in a child with fatal systemic hyperinflammation, apparently provoked by live-attenuated viral vaccination. Such pathologic hyperinflammation, fulfilling criteria for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, is an emerging phenotype accompanying inborn errors of type I interferon immunity.
