Abstract
- Kaposi’s sarcoma (KS) is rare in childhood. It may be favored by acquired immune deficiencies, but the predisposing factors to KS in other children are unclear. KS has been reported in only two children and one adult with primary immunodeficiency. We report here a Tunisian child with a Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome who developed KS at the age of 14 months. This observation expands the spectrum of primary immunodeficiencies associated with KS in childhood.
