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.
淋巴结病综合征（LAS），经组织学研究确诊，在一名患有重型β地中海贫血的11岁多次输血男孩中被描述。入院三天后，他因嗜水气单胞菌感染患上严重急性腹泻，嗜水气单胞菌是一种机会性肠道细菌，迄今为止已在免疫功能低下患者中发现，但从未在艾滋病患者中发现。必须指出的是，β地中海贫血患者因长期需要输血和免疫功能受损，感染艾滋病毒的风险很高。
