Abstract
We describe an 11 month old girl with mannose-binding lectin deficiency who presented with recurrent infections. Her mother and brother also were affected. Mannose-binding deficiency is common, and we suggest that testing for it should be included in the evaluation of children with increased susceptibility to infection.Entities:
