Popis: Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare syndrome characterized by severe clinical infections usually caused by weakly virulent mycobacterial species such as Bacillus Calmette- Guerin (BCG) vaccines and environmental nontuberculous mycobacteria or more virulent mycobacteria as mycobacterium tuberculosis. Since 1996, Nine genes including 7 autosomal (STAT1, IFNGR1, IFNGR2, IL12B, IL12RB1, ISG15 and IRF8) and two X-linked genes (NEMO and CYBB) have been identified. Allelic heterogeneity leaded to recognize about eighteen genetic diseases with variable clinical phenotypes, but sharing a same physiological mechanism represented by a defect in human IL-12-dependant INF-γ mediated immunity. We report here a case of multifocal BCG osteomyelitis in a context Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease mimicking a metastatic neuroblastoma in a child presenting with delayed growth. The investigation of her twin sister showed the same disease. A heterozygous mutation in exon ...
