Abstract

The patient was in good clinical condition and did not experience recurrent infections after the start of Ig replacement therapy and antibiotic prophylaxis with amoxicillin until the age of 5 years, when he was admitted to a hospital with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring oxygen therapy for 4 days. Invasive infections with viruses, mycobacteria, parasites, and fungi have not been described in human MyD88 deficiency, although one patient had Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) adenitis after vaccination with BCG [[2], [5]]. We here present a patient carrying a homozygous deleterious mutation in I MYD88 i , who experienced viral infections and recurrent mucocutaneous candidiasis in addition to the classical invasive and superficial pyogenic infections.
