Our son, Kyle, was a normal active 11-year-old who enjoyed climbing trees, swimming, and running. He loved to run around and play with his friends.  The first week of school last fall was normal for Kyle.  He was excited to see friends and meet his new sixth grade teachers. However, throughout that week, he developed large bruises. Some had known causes - others did not.

he role of CD4(+) T-cells in the pathogenesis of AA is not well characterized. The focus of this study is to investigate the role of CD4(+) T-cells in AA with particular emphasis on CD4(+) regulatory and effector T-cell subsets and correlation with disease severity. 63 patients(48 at diagnosis) with acquired AA were studied. Numbers of Th1 and Th2-cells were significantly higher in AA compared with age matched healthy donors (HDs) (p=0.03) (p=0.006).
