Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome has been described. Other reports and studies of the syndrome have been compiled. Discussion of the incompletely understood pathogenesis and current treatment modalities are included with a differential diagnosis of related conditions. Although this syndrome is uncommon, it is not rare. The patient's susceptibility to infection and propensity to bleed makes early recognition and vigorous treatment an important and challenging task. It is hoped that this report will foster awareness of such patients and the complications involved in treatment.
