A Newborn with a Blueberry Muffin Rash, Hepatosplenomegaly, Thrombocytopenia and Severe Cholestatic Jaundice at Birth

چکیده
Neonatal cholestasis is characterized by an elevation of conjugated bilirubin. It occurs in approximately 1 in 2500 term infants. Gaucher Disease (GD) is an exceptionally rare cause of neonatal cholestasis. We report a male term newborn with a blueberry muffin rash, hepatomegaly and massive splenomegaly at birth. His total serum bilirubin (TSB)/direct was 13.5/11.9 mg/dL, and platelet count 20,000 bil/L. A leukocyte beta-glucosidase level was 0 and full sequencing of the GBA gene showed that he was homozygous for the pathogenic complex allele p.D409H and a second variant p.H255Q, consistent with the diagnosis of the severe phenotype GD type 2.

BACKGROUND Neonatal blueberry muffin lesions are rare cutaneous eruptions, presenting as transient, non-blanching, red-violaceous papules, mostly localized in the trunk, head and neck, attributable to a marked dermal hematopoietic activity. Congenital infections of the TORCH complex (toxoplasmosis, other, rubella, cytomegalovirus and herpes) and hematological disorders have been classically ass...
