10. Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome Related Infections

Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome (WAS) is a genetic condition that affects the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to infections. People with WAS often experience frequent and severe infections due to their bodies' inability to fight off bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens effectively. Common infections may include respiratory and skin infections, as well as complications like eczema and a higher risk for certain types of cancer. Managing WAS typically involves monitoring and treating infections promptly and may require therapies to boost the immune response or even a stem cell transplant in severe cases.
