ABSTRACT
A 3-week-old boy presented with severe thrombocytopenia and recurrent infections. He was subsequently found to have Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome, a rare X-linked disorder. Splenectomy was performed and he died of post-splenectomy sepsis despite prophylatic antibiotic therapy. This is the first recorded case in the English-speaking Caribbean.
