Abstract
A female infant developed auto-immune hemolytic anemia and juvenile pemphigoid, and died at the age of 10 mo. Autopsy showed evidence of thymic hypoplasia and T lymphocyte deficiency. It was concluded that the 2 rare auto-immune diseases occurring in this child probably resulted from a lack of T cell regulation of antibody-producing B lymphocytes.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
