title: Combined immune deficiency syndromes with primary T-cell defect and partial B-cell reactive hyperactivity. Immunological and morphological analysis of two unusual cases.
abstract: Two cases of combined immunodeficiency with lymphopenia, thymic dysplasia, and defective immunoglobulin production are reported. Both show selective hypo-gammaglobulinemia (IgG and IgA respectively) and selective hyper-gammaglobulinemia (both IgE, IgA, and IgM respectively). The cases are classified, by correlation of clinical and histopathological data as a variant of Fireman's disease.
