[CIS PIDD] ? SCID newborn

[Sokolic, Robert (NIH/NHGRI) [E]]

We had some data in Blood earlier this year that the higher the dAXP's on
presentation, the lower the ANC, and some of our patients were frankly
neutropenic at presentation. We also have seen eosinophilia in our
patients, sometimes as a reaction to infection where one would expect
neutrophilia.
