Abstract

The article focuses on the evaluation of screening for severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) in Greta Britain by the National Health Service (NHS) newborn blood spot (NBS) screening programme. Topics include the nature of SCID as a rare disease that affects the immune system, determining if SCID works in practice as part of the existing NBS screening programme, and the changes made to the Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination programme in Great Britain.
