Lymphoadenopathic Syndrome (LAS), diagnosed also with histologycal studies, is described in a polytransfused 11-year old boy affected by beta-thalassemia major. After three days of the admission he suffered a serious acute diarrhea by Aeromonas hydrophila, an opportunistic enteric bacteria demonstrated, up to date, in immunocompromised patients and never in AIDS patients. It is important to remark that beta-thalassemic patients are at high risk from HIV infections, either for the chronic need of transfusions and for the impairment of the immunological functions.
