Abstract:
Hatipoglu immunodeficiency syndrome (HATIS) is an autosomal recessive immunologic disorder, characterized by cytopenias, recurrent infections, and failure to thrive associated with biallelic mutation in DPP9 gene. We report 8-month-old pair of twins born to a nonconsanguineous marriage with similar presentation showing severe anemia and recurrent sino-pulmonary infections requiring multiple hospitalizations and blood transfusions with investigations suggestive of macrocytic anemia unresponsive to B12 supplementation. Immunodeficiency workup showed positive Dihydrorhodamine test suggestive of chronic granulomatous disease and whole exome sequencing displayed DPP9 mutation in both the twins.

Blood Transfusion and Agglutination
History
The history of blood transfusion dates back to the 17th century, when early attempts were made in animals. In 1818 James Blundell, a British doctor, performed the first successful human blood transfusion. Later in 1900, Karl...
