Abstract

Two Malaysian Chinese male children are described with Wiskoll-Aldrich syndrome, which has rarely been reported in the East. Classical features were found, with bleeding and infections, low titres of isohaemagglutinins and IgM, but variable IgG and IgA. The immune response was broadly disturbed. Survival of one child was sufficiently long for a Iymphoreticular malignancy or appear.
