Case Reports

Severe CD8 Deficiency in a Child with Miliary Tuberculosis

Faisal Nayel Kordy, Sulaiman Al-Jumaah and Abdulaziz Al-Ghonaim

Department of Pediatrics, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Abdulaziz Al-Ghonaim, MD, Head of Pediatric Allergy and Immunology, Department of Pediatrics, King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Center, PO Box 3354, Riyadh, 11211, Saudi Arabia. E-mail <ghonaium{at}kfshrc.edu.sa>.

This report described a 6-month-old boy who presented with miliary tuberculosis and severe CD8 deficiency, which is most likely secondary to miliary tuberculosis since his CD8 was back to normal 6 month after therapy and primary CD8 deficiency, (ZAP 70 defect) was ruled out. To our knowledge this is the first paediatric case reported with severe CD8 deficiency secondary to miliary TB.

Key Words: tuberculosis, flow cytometry, CD8
