%X Vaccination against tuberculosis with live-attenuated Bacillus Calmette-Gu¨¦rin (BCG) is widely used even though its effectiveness is controversial. BCG-lymphadenitis (BCG-LA) is its most common complication. Some studies have proposed that BCG-LA can be associated with primary immunodeficiencies (PIs). This study¡¯s aim is to see whether patients who developed BCG-LA (named as ¡®LA¡¯) developed more infections than BCG-vaccinated children without BCG-LA (named as ¡®NON-LA¡¯)
