We report the four year treatment progress of a six year old boy who initially presented with vesicular lesions over the trunk, upper and lower extremities and face and blood tinged stools at the age of 2 weeks. From the family pedigree, there were two suspected cases that were never successfully diagnosed with similar symptoms. The patient was diagnosed with Wiskott-Aldrich and underwent symptomatic treatment and treatment with prednisolone for the last four years. The platelet count over these four years was also studied.}, keywords = {wiskott-aldrich,eczema,microthrombocytopenia}, url = {https://ijp.mums.ac.ir/article_4260.html}, eprint = {https://ijp.mums.ac.ir/article_4260_c6a50c0a529f02999fad130c11bd303c.pdf} }
