Abstract

A patient with Bruton's X-linked hypogammaglobulinemia, who developed the typical syndrome associated with systemic echovirus 3 infection whilst on routine intramuscular gammaglobulin replacement therapy, is described. Following regular infusions of specific antibody-containing plasma from his spouse, he has shown sustained clinical improvement over a period of two years, and is, therefore, one of the very rare cases with this syndrome to survive for more than a few months.
