X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome,

a rare X-linked immunodeficiency in which there is a normal response to childhood infection but infection with Epstein-Barr produces a fatal lymphoproliferative disorder. Most patients die of acute infection. Others develop hypogammaglobulinemia, B-cell lymphoma, aplastic anemia, or agranulocytosis.
