Abstract

Two children aged 3 and 11 years are described in whom a combined autoimmune neutro-and thrombocytopenia developed in association with pronounced cell-membrane bound IgG. These latter antibodies were detected by the unlabelled immunoperoxidase (PAP) method. Prednisone therapy proved to be beneficial.
