2. Anthony Hoffnagle was well until after 6 months of age when he was hospitalized for pneumonia 5 times in the same year. A consultation with an immunologist revealed normal numbers of B cells and T cells, slightly elevated IgM, and a marked decrease in IgG and IgA. He was diagnosed with X-linked hyper IgM syndrome.
