A 7-year-old girl with incontinentia pigmenti and a history of multiple bacterial infections developed chronic meningitis with Actinomycosis odontolyticus, which was successfully treated with long-term penicillin administration. Although all tests of immunologic function were normal in this patient, her history of recurrent and unusual infections is consistent with previous suggestions of an undefined immu nodeficiency state associated with incontinentia pigmenti.
