Abstract

In high-burden countries,Mycobacterium bovisBacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine is administered in newborn to prevent severeMycobacterium tuberculosisinfection. Because life-threatening disseminated BCG disease may occur in children with primary immunodeficiency, vaccination strategy against tuberculosis should be redefined in non-high-burden countries. We report the case of a patient with X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) who developed disseminated BCG disease, highlighting the specific strategies adopted.
