ABSTRACT
Some clinical manifestations are common to the quantitative or qualitative defects in phagocytic cells. Their presence and persistence in a pediatric patient have to alert to the clinician on the diagnosis and reference to the specialist. Despite their low incidence, the knowledge of these diseases must be included in any pediatric program training and the allergist and clinical immunologist must be trained to detect them.
