Description

<jats:p><jats:bold>Abstract: </jats:bold> Purine nucleoside phosphorylase deficiency is a rare immunodeficiency syndrome characterized by recurrent infections, neurological dysfunction, and autoimmunity. Early diagnosis and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation may reverse the dismal prognosis in PNP deficiency. This report presents a new PNP deficiency case successfully transplanted without a conditioning regimen from an HLA‐identical family donor, who developed a complication of disseminated BCG infection.</jats:p>
