Abstract

A 4-year-old male presented with papulopustular eruption and eczematous dermatitis started in early infancy (Figs. 10.1 and 10.2). He also had recurrent large cutaneous abscesses in both axillae and groin area, with lymphadenopathy, but no fever. He had a history of recurrent bronchitis and pneumonia.
