Tachypnea of Infancy as the First Sign of Sanfilippo Syndrome

Abstract: This report describes the first known case of Mucopolysaccharidosis type IIIA presenting with respiratory symptoms and characteristic lung pathology. This case highlights under-recognized areas of systemic involvement and earlier modes of presentation in lysosomal storage disorders as well as the importance of investigating infants who have persistent tachypnea.

“…More importantly from a clinical point of view, mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) were overrepresented in our cohort with two out of eleven children. A third child with PIG and MPS has recently been described in the literature [30]. In our cohort of infants with unexplained tachypnoe and suspected PIG, but without biopsy, we identified MPS type IIIB by whole exome sequencing as the underlying genetic cause (homozygote chr17:40695044_A/G).…”

“…However, a case report describes the case of a neonate exhibiting persistent tachypnea associated with parenchymal abnormalities observed on lung imaging; the infant was later diagnosed with MPS IIIA. This case suggests that patients with MPS may exhibit earlier modes of presentation and atypical findings [ 34 ].…”
