Cutaneous complications of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine, especially in the form of generalised disease, are uncommon and mostly occur in immunocompromised individuals.

Patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) having defect in both cellular and humoral immunity are predisposed to a host of live vaccine related complications, especially BCG. We report an infant presenting persistent fever, weight loss, anemia,...
متن کاملImmunotherapy for acute leukemia
(allo-HCT) can be curative for patients with acute leukemia [1]. The anti-leukemia activity relies on the graft-versus-leukemia (GVL) effects that are elicited after allo-HCT, suggesting that anti-tumor immunity may be responsible for eradicating leukemia and preventing subsequent relapse. However, allo-HCT is associated with significant morbidity and mortality resulting from toxicity of dose-i...
