Her postoperative course was complicated by fevers associated with respiratory failure and wound dehiscence at the surgical sites. A chest computed tomography scan revealed bilateral consolidative pneumonia with parapneumonic effusions. Infectious and clinical immune evaluations were unremarkable. She had resolution of fevers and respiratory failure with broad\u2010spectrum antibiotics; however, her wounds became progressively ulcerative and necrotic. A skin biopsy demonstrated skin ulceration with acute neutrophilic inflammation. She was started on glucocorticoids and infliximab infusions with prompt improvement in wound healing. Subsequently, a clinical genetic panel revealed a heterozygous variant in OTULIN<\/jats:italic> c.787C>T, p.Arg263Trp, located at the same amino acid previously reported in OTULIN haploinsufficiency. OTULIN haploinsufficiency is a rare IEI that predisposes to life\u2010threatening necrosis of the skin and lungs, often in response to Staphylococcus aureus<\/jats:italic> infection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusion<\/jats:title>OTULIN haploinsufficiency predisposes to increased susceptibility to infections and tissue\u2010specific necrosis often triggered by infection. Recognition of this rare IEI is important because patients with OTULIN haploinsufficiency may require combined antibiotic and immunomodulatory therapy.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/acr2.11800","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,14]],"date-time":"2025-03-14T05:50:57Z","timestamp":1741931457000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Failure to Close: An Unexpected Surgical Complication Reveals OTULIN<\/scp> Haploinsufficiency"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3121-8489","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jessica","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital Houston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Charlotte F.","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital Houston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrea A.","family":"Ramirez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital Houston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tiphanie P.","family":"Vogel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital Houston"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/nrm3836"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/sciadv.abi6794"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1612594113"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15252\/emmm.201809324"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2016.07.019"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.abm6380"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1474-4422(13)70258-8"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41586-023-06045-0"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15252\/emmm.202114901"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1084\/jem.20222171"}],"container-title":["ACR Open Rheumatology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1002\/acr2.11800","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,10,2]],"date-time":"2025-10-02T14:23:04Z","timestamp":1759414984000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/acrjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1002\/acr2.11800"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,3]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1002\/acr2.11800"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/acr2.11800","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["2578-5745","2578-5745"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2578-5745","type":"print"},{"value":"2578-5745","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,3]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2024-12-20","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2024-12-27","order":2,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2025-03-14","order":3,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}],"article-number":"e11800"}}
