Abstract
Receiving the measles vaccination is crucial for controlling the disease and preventing severe complications. However, adverse reactions can occur in individuals with inborn errors of immunity. This case report details a severe reaction to the measles vaccine in a ten-month-old female with a homozygous mutation in the IFNAR2 gene, leading to immunodeficiency-45. Following vaccination, she developed viremia, meningoencephalitis, and multi-organ failure. Genetic analysis identified a Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS) in the IFNAR2 gene, which is essential for type I interferon (IFN-I) signaling. This case highlights the importance of incorporating genetic screening into vaccination programs for individuals at risk. It demonstrates the complex relationship between genetic mutations and the immune responses to the vaccines.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Immunology publishes impactful papers in the realm of human immunology, delving into the diagnosis, pathogenesis, prognosis, or treatment of human diseases. The journal places particular emphasis on primary immunodeficiencies and related diseases, encompassing inborn errors of immunity in a broad sense, their underlying genotypes, and diverse phenotypes. These phenotypes include infection, malignancy, allergy, auto-inflammation, and autoimmunity. We welcome a broad spectrum of studies in this domain, spanning genetic discovery, clinical description, immunologic assessment, diagnostic approaches, prognosis evaluation, and treatment interventions. Case reports are considered if they are genuinely original and accompanied by a concise review of the relevant medical literature, illustrating how the novel case study advances the field. The instructions to authors provide detailed guidance on the four categories of papers accepted by the journal.
