Abstract

Hypoglobulinemia is characterized by functional or quantitative abnormalities of one or more components of the immune system. It is typically manifests as recurrent infections that usually start in childhood. These recurrent infections cause various clinical symptoms. Infectious or aseptic arthritis can develop, and especially in bone and joint abnormalities. No case of arthritis in a patients with hypogammaglobulinemia has been reported, so we report on the management of osteoarthritis of the hip in a hypogammaglobulinemia patient.

Keywords: hip, osteoarthritis, hypogammaglobulinemia
