Wiskott-Aldrich is an X-lined recessive disorder typically characterized by thrombocytopenia, eczema and recurrent infections. 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.
