    Abstract:
    LAD-I is a rare, autosomal recessive, primary immunodeficiency in which phagocyte adhesion and chemotaxis are impaired. Multiple infections in the absence of pus accumulation and persistent elevated peripheral blood neutrophil counts are the hallmark of LAD-I. Allogeneic HSCT is the only treatment proved to be potentially curative for phagocyte adhesion impairment in LAD-I. Here, we report on a case of a 30-month-old girl with LAD-I, in whom peripheral blood stem cell from a genotypically identical sibling resulted in mixed chimerism.
