Abstract
- In 1980, the clinical syndrome of X-linked agammaglobulinemia and isolated growth hormone defieiency (XLA/IGHD) was first described by Fleisher. We report here 25-year old man with isolated growth hormone deficiency and X-linked agammaglobulinemia. His height was below the third percentile. He had recurrent sinopulmonary infection, lacked circulating B lympocytes and had deficient growth hormone.
