A 6-year-old female was diagnosed with GSD1b at the age of 4 months. She was born to third-degree consanguineous parents at term. Her medical history revealed recurrent infections since she was two months old, which led to frequent hospitalizations. The most recent hospitalization in January 2024 at our center was prompted by elevated lactate levels, incidentally discovered during routine outpatient follow-up. The patient had a blood glucose level of 32 mg/dL, a pH of 7.06, and a serum bicarbonate (HCO3-) level of 7.5 mmol/L with a lactate level of 21 mmol/L, suggestive of severe hypoglycemia and severe metabolic acidosis. Following the first physical examination, no pathological findings were observed except for massive hepatomegaly. Assessment for Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV) came back positive. A burst test was conducted to exclude neutrophil function disorders, which came normal; however, her neutrophil counts were repeatedly under 1.5x103. ❓ What is this suggestive of?
