Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome with partial response to transfer factor. 1978

R M Mackie, and M J Alcorn, and R D Stevenson, and T Cochran, and R N McSween

A male infant presented with dermatitis, purpura and susceptibility to bacterial infections. The clinical diagnosis of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome was confirmed and after full immunological assessment, treatment with transfer factor was commenced. This has resulted in a rise in the platelet count and improvement in the bleeding tendency. This improvement in the haematological aspect of the disease has, however, been accompanied by exacerbations of the cutaneous lesions.
