RESUMO
Human severe combined immunodeficiency [SCID] represents a group of rare, often fatal, congenital disorders characterized by little or no immune response. Reticular dysgenesis [RD] is the most severe form of inborn SCID. Until recently, its genetic basis was unknown. It is only in 2008, that a gene defect has been described. We present here, a unique hematological phenotype of RD with a dramatic clinical course. The paucity of such cases in the literature, merits this report
