Dental considerations in the treatment of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome: report of case.
This disease is characterized by cutaneous eczema (usually beginning on the face), thrombocytopenic purpura, and an increased susceptibility to infection due to an immunologic defect. Oral manifestations include gingival bleeding and palatal petechiae. Hyperplastic gingiva may now be expected as a complication of cyclosporine A therapy.
