Abstract:

Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease MSMD is a diverse group of diagnoses related to impairment in the immune response to intracellular pathogens, which can be mediated by defects at many points along the way in the mononuclear phagocyteT helper cell type 1 axis. Symptoms typically present in childhood with infection caused by non-pathogenic mycobacteria such as the BCG vaccine. Immunodeficiency 29 is the subset of MSMD caused by mutations in IL-12. We describe a novel mutation causing Immunodeficiency 29 in an Active Duty patient.
