Abstract
CD25 deficiency (Interleukin-2 receptor alpha deficiency) is a rare subtype of combined B- and T-cell immunodeficiency. Recurrent infections and lymphocyte infiltration of multiple tissues are the main clinical presentations. Only four patients have been reported in whom ophthalmological findings were not described. In this article, ocular findings of CD25 deficiency in a 12-year-old child are highlighted.
