Abstract

Common variable immunodeficiency and ataxia-telangiectasia with immunodeficiency are both well recognized syndromes which occur in children. The aetiological factors responsible for both these conditions have yet to be defined clearly. The clinical and laboratory features in two siblings, one with common variable immunodeficiency and the other with ataxia-telangiectasia, are presented. This is the first report of these two entities occurring in siblings.
