Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated lymphoproliferative disorder (LPD) is a serious complication after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT).

Chest radiography in two teenage boys, one with Wiscott-Aldrich's syndrome and one with acute lymphatic leucemia in remission showed increased interstitial pattern. In both computed tomography (CT) of the lungs showed heavy interstitial pneumonia, rather different in appearance but in both cases equal to the CT findings in opportunistic lung infections known from immunoincompetent patients with for instance pneumocystis carinii and/or cytomegalo virus infections. In both patients the CT findings led to lung biopsy establishing the etiologic agent.

In haemiphilia and Wiskott-Aldrich's. thrombocytopenia, both caused by a mutant gene in an X chromosome, prenatal pole determination was consulted in order to have a pregnancy with a male fetus interrupted due to high risk.

In 7 children, out of whome three were infants, suffering of recurrent respiratory tract infections, examinations revealed either absence or deficiency of the IgA in the serum and saliva. 2 children presented a classical picture of the Wiskott-Aldrich's syndrome followed by eczema, recurrent infections and trombocytopenia.
