We report a child with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome with severe, refractory, symptomatic thrombocytopenia who achieved an excellent response to combination therapy with vincristine 1.5 mg/m 2 Γ 1 day, intravenous immunoglobulin 1 g/kg Γ 3 days, and methylprednisolone 25 mg/kg Γ 3 days (VIM) for 7 years
Lymphocytes from patients with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) were studied 1) with prometaphase G banding to search for minor chromosome anomalies and 2) in mutagen stress assays to assess the extent of chromosome breakage under these conditions. One patient, a sporadic case of WAS, was found to hav
Background. Recently, reports of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-induced lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) have increased in number among immunosuppressed recipients of organ transplants. The importance of analyzing both the immunoglobulin gene and EBV termini is advocated for the investigation of pathog
## Abstract The formation of a uropod by lymphocytes (handβmirror cells) represents a morphologic stage of immune activation and motility in lymphocytes. Immune complexes have been previously shown to induce handβmirrorβcell (HMC) formation in human lymphocytes and have been associated with increas
