Abstract

En 中文
IL-12 receptor (31 (IL-12R(31) deficiency is the most frequent genetic etiology of Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease (MSMD), predisposing to severe infections with intracellular pathogens. We report a 3year-old male with prior BCG adenitis and multidrug-resistant extra-pulmonary tuberculosis who presented with persistent generalized lymphadenopathy. Excisional lymph node biopsy grew Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium. Genetic testing revealed a homozygous pathogenic mutation in the IL12RB1 gene. This case illustrates a rare presentation of disseminated non-typhoidal salmonellosis in IL-12R(31 deficiency and highlights the importance of early immunological evaluation in children with recurrent, severe, or atypical infections.
