Abstract

Immunodeficiency diseases in infancy may be genetic or may result from an infection acquired during intrauterine life. A precise aetiological diagnosis is important for genetic counselling purposes, prognosis and treatment. The case of a young female child with a combined immunodeficiency disease and thrombocytopenia is presented. The difficulties of establishing a precise aetiological diagnosis are illustrated.
