Confirmed diagnosis of classic Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome in East Africa: a case report

Abstract Introduction Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome is a rare X-linked primary immunodeficiency that mostly presents with a classic triad of eczema, microthrombocytopenia, recurrent infections, and increased risk of autoimmunity/malignancies. Case presentation We present an 8-month-old African male, born...
