Abstract
Seven infants with severe dermatitis, diarrhoea and/or infections are described. A primary
immunodeficiency (PID) was considered among the diagnostic hypotheses in all cases. Thrombocytopenia,
hypereosinophilia, lymphopenia and Ig deficiencies were adjunctive elements
to consider PID in 3 cases. In 5 out of 7 cases a PID was confirmed. In the 2 remaining
cases, cutaneous infection and adverse reaction to drugs were the final diagnoses.
We recommend a thorough diagnostic work up for PID in “red” infants with diarrhoea
and/or severe infections.
