Abstract

IPEX (Immunodysregulation, Polyendocrinopathy, Enteropathy, X-linked) is a rare X-linked recessive life-threatening disorder characterized by autoimmunity and early death. Pulmonary complication related with IPEX has not been elucidated exactly. Here, we report 4 IPEX patients, 3 of which died from severe pulmonary disease.
