Patients with deficient antibody-mediated immunity may develop a rare "dermatomyositis-like" syndrome, which is usually progressive and fatal. We have observed a child with hypogammaglobulinemia in whom a dermatomyositis-like syndrome was associated with a fatal, disseminated ECHO 24 infection. This association suggests that in some immunodeficient patients the fatal dermatomyositis-like syndrome is a manifestation of a viral infection in a compromised host. The use of maternal plasma, with a high titer of ECHO 24 neutralizing activity, was unsuccessful in arresting the progress of the infection.
