The triad should unmistakeably makes us think of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. The USMLE may present for you a male child (because it's X linked recessive) with a very characteristic combination of eczema and petichiae (because of thromobocytopenia).
Platelets are characterisitcally small with low mean platelet volume and there's immunodeficiency characterized by low IgM and high IgA and IgE levels.
Propensity to develop autoimmune disorders and lymphoma/leukemia is there.
keep this syndrome in your mind for the USMLE Step 1 and also for CK.
