title: Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome: meticulous care for diagnosis.
abstract: Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a prototypic disorder of abnormal lymphocyte homeostasis. In the September 2005 issue of The Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, a patient with clinical features consistent with ALPS was described. Although the clinical presentation was in favor of ALPS, a precise diagnosis needed more laboratory evaluations.
