This article presents the case of a 2 years and 6 months old boy with a history of multiple respiratory infections, which also associates a malabsorbtion syndrome. The patient presented for symptoms of arthritis. After performing protein electrophoresis, the extremely low gamma fraction pointed out a hidden immunodeficiency.
