title: Weber--Christian syndrome in infancy.
abstract: A review of Weber-Christian syndrome in infancy is presented along with the report of two cases. Both infants had low serum properdin levels, and one patient showed remissions of his disease when he was T-lymphocytopenic. This suggests that the T-lymphocyte may have an important role in the pathogenesis of Weber--Christian syndrome.
