Abstract

Background: Wiskott-Aldrich is an X-lined recessive disorder typically characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema and recurrent infections.
We present a 11 month old male child with classical symptoms of thrombocytopenic purpura, eczema and recurrent infections. The diagnosis of WiskottAldrich syndrome was made based on history,
physical examination and preliminary laboratory investigations. He was managed with antibiotics, platelet transfusion and symptomatic skin care.


Conclusion: Need for lifelong monitoring and
higher levels of therapy as needed was informed to
the parents.


Keywords: Atopic dermatitis; eczema; recurrent bacterial infection; Thrombocytopenic purpura
