Abstract
Background: The aim of this report is to present the case of a patient with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) and anterior scleritis.

Treatment included topical steroids and NSAIDS, oral naproxen and acyclovir and extra subcutaneous IgG injections, in addition to those medications regularly received for his immunodeficiency. Scleritis resolved without further consequences for the eye and the patient continued receiving IgG for the immunodeficiency.
