A male infant had an acute otitis media from the age of one month.
He had been treated by several E. N. T. specialists for 5 months when he developed an intractable dry cough.
The patient was referred to our hospital where he was found to have agammaglobulinemia and was treated with several different antibiotics and gammaglobulin given intravenously.
He died on the 12th day of admission.
The body was immediately autopsied and a thymic alymphoplasia was detected.
The final diagnosis was agammaglobulinemia of the Gitlin type.
