Primary immunodeficiency diseases and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-vaccine-derived complications: a systematic review.

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice, 2020
BACKGROUND Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is a live attenuated bacterial vaccine derived from Mycobacterium bovis, which is mostly administered to neonates in regions where tuberculosis (TB) is endemic. Adverse reactions following BCG vaccination

Mycobacterial diseases in primary immunodeficiencies

Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2001
Primary immunodeficiency diseases comprise over 100 conditions, each associated with a variety of viral, bacterial, fungal and protozoan infections. M. tuberculosis and less virulent mycobacteria, such as bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccines and environmental non-tuberculous mycobacteria, may cause severe disease in patients with primary immunodeficiency ...

Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases

1976
Rare individuals, experiments of nature who suffer the often devastating consequences of a congenital defect within the immune system, have served to teach us much of what we know today about the complex immune response of man (36,39,54). From a careful study of them and their diseases, together with related studies in the laboratory, we have learned ...

12. Primary immunodeficiency diseases

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2003
Although primary immunodeficiency disorders are relatively rare, intensive investigation of these disorders has yielded a great wealth of understanding of basic immunologic mechanisms in host defense, inflammation, and autoimmunity. These advances have led to important developments for the treatment not only of the primary immunodeficiencies but also ...

History of primary immunodeficiency diseases

Current Opinion in Allergy & Clinical Immunology, 2012
This issue of Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology is focused on primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs). Like every disorder, PID has its own specific history, starting with the discovery of agammaglobulinemia in 1952 and still expanding at a rapid pace, covering, at the time of this publication, more than 180 genetically determined ...

Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1997
Primary immunodeficiencies are rare, but important for 3 reasons. First, a high index of suspicion and prompt diagnosis can lead to lifesaving treatment or significant improvement in quality of life. Second, appreciation of the genetic nature of a host defense defect makes possible family counseling and carrier and prenatal diagnosis.

Abstract Occasionally, patients present with clinical episodes of infectious disease that seem to fall beyond the scope of normal immunocompetence. Examples include infections that are unusually persistent, recurrent or resistant to treatment, or those involving unexpected dissemination of disease or atypical pathogens.
