[Recurrent mitigated erysipelas in severe combined immunodeficiency].
A patient with congenital severe combined swiss-type immune deficiency suffered from recurrent cellulitis and at least 26 documented cases of bacterial pneumonia. Parenteral immunoglobins prevented the recurrence of the bacterial pneumonias but not of the cellulitis. This was successfully halted by benzathine penicillin injections every four weeks.
