Article Synopsis
- - A young male infant with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency was identified with a new genetic variant linked to interleukin 2 receptor and developed serious health issues after receiving the BCG vaccine.
- - The case raises concerns about the early administration of live vaccines like BCG in infants with underlying immunodeficiencies and suggests that such variants might be related to a specific type of disease susceptibility.
- - The infant exhibited symptoms resembling hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) without typical markers, prompting a call to reconsider HLH diagnostic criteria to include conditions causing a lack of systemic inflammation.
