The syndrome of asthma, recurrent viral infections and T-cell immunodeficiency is discussed. It is suggested that the management of these patients should include correction of the T-cell defects using immunopotentiators such as transfer factor and/or thymosin. Procedures for detecting subtle T cell defects are also described.
