Since BCG is a live attenuated vaccine, complication rates are significantly increased in immunodeficient individuals [3, [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] , especially so in patients with T cell defects, mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD), or chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) [5] [6] [7] 11] , reflecting the main mechanisms of defense against mycobacteria. Thirty-six pediatric patients who underwent HSCT for phagocytic and T cell defects in Hadassah medical center between 2007 and 2019, and had received the BCG vaccine prior to transplant, were included in this study (Table 1) . ./cache/cord-355384-qa7grviy.txt ./txt/cord-355384-qa7grviy.txt
