| Abstract | dc.description.abstract | CONTEXT: Adhesion molecule deficiency type 1 is a rare disease that should be suspected in any patient
whose umbilical cord presents delay in falling off, and who presents recurrent severe infections. Early
diagnostic suspicion and early treatment improve the prognosis.
CASE REPORT: The case of a four-month-old boy with recurrent hospitalizations because of severe bronchopneumonia
and several episodes of acute otitis media with non-purulent drainage of mucus and
positive bacterial cultures is presented. His medical history included neonatal sepsis and delayed umbilical
cord detachment. Laboratory studies showed marked leukocytosis with predominance of neutrophils and
decreased CD11b and CD18. These were all compatible with a diagnosis of leukocyte adhesion deficiency
type I [LAD type 1]. | en_US |
