Despite the long history of worldwide use of bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, a wide spectrum of adverse reactions has been observed in a small proportion of immunized infants. The most severe complication is disseminated BCGitis, often fatal but extremely rare and considered to be a result of host immunodeficiency. At present, polymerase chain reaction test, CT scan, ultrasound, X-rays ...

In this study, the clinical and immunogenetical features in a cohort of Chinese patients with BCGosis/BCGitis were investigated. For the patients with abnormal immunological functions, Sanger sequencing was used to identify the involved genes. There were 74 confirmed cases of BCGosis/BCGitis during 2007-2012. Classified by infected tissues and organs, no cases only had local infection, 39 patie...

major histocompatibility complex (mhc) class ii deficiency is a primary immunodeficiency disease characterized by abnormality of mhc class ii molecules surface expression on peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes. clinical manifestations include extreme susceptibility to viral, bacterial, and fungal infections but the immunodeficiency is not as severe as scid (severe combined immunodeficien...
