Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for the treatment of leukocyte adhesion deficiency type III

We read with great interest the article published in Pediatrics and Neonatology by Aygun and colleagues.1 The authors described the cases of two children of Turkish origin who had leukocyte adhesion deficiency type III (LAD III). To date, fewer than 40 cases have been reported in the literature. In this article, the authors provided clinical data and conducted a biological investigation, including genetic analysis, that led to the diagnosis. They also provided interesting information regarding the treatment.
