[Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome].
Current concepts of pathogenesis and therapy of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome are discussed, along with demonstrating the case history of a patient with the clinical features of this rare disorder. In addition to the known symptoms there was an elevated blood monocyte count together with a decreased total number of lymphocytes.
