Immunoglobulin levels were normal in this child. He was
not tested for other immune abnormalities described in X-linked
dyskeratosis congenita as there was no history of recurrent infections. It
has been noted that despite laboratory evidence of aberrant humoral
immunity most of the patients do not have a long standing history of
severe or recurrent infections(1).
