It was associated with recurrent, watery, non-infective diarrhoea since birth. Stools were occasionally admixed with blood. Colonoscopy was normal but biopsy showed cryptitis. She had several infections in childhood: one probable meningitis, one pneumonia and two episodes of subcutaneous abscesses. She … ER -
