Thrombocytopenic purpura associated with common variable immunodeficiency and bronchiectasis

Case report Boy with 13 years old diagnosed with thrombocytopenic purpura and a normal myelogram. He presented low levels of immunoglobulins (A = 7 mg / dl, M = 14,2mg / dl and G = 140 mg / dl). Immunophenotyping of lymphocytes was altered with CD19 = 7.9% (81cells / mm3); CD4 = 56.5% (574cells / mm3) and CD8 = 12.3% (125cells / mm3).
