This syndrome is featured by (a) a history of recurrent bacterial infections, (b) absence of acquired antibodies, (c) lack of isohemagglutins, (d) extremely low to absent gamma globulin, although total serum proteins are within normal range, (e) failure of long-term antibiotic therapy to furnish protection, and (f) response to protective injections of gamma globulin.CASE REPORTThis 30 year old white female was admitted to Ancker Hospital on November 21, 1953, with a diagnosis of meningitis....Bibliography1.
