Summary It has been reported that plasma and leukocyte infusions have a beneficial effect on patients with Hurler's and Hunter's syndromes. A 5‐year‐old boy with Hunter's syndrome and Coo‐ley's anaemia is presented. This boy received a total of 38 transfusions over a 4‐year period. The usual clinical manifestations of the Hunter's syndrome were fully developed, and were not, in any obvious way, ameliorated by the transfusions.
