Clin Infect Dis. 2017 Jan 1;64(1):83-86. doi: 10.1093/cid/ciw675. Epub 2016 Oct 6.

Abstract

Persistence of rubella live vaccine has been associated with chronic skin granuloma in 3 children with primary immunodeficiency. We describe 6 additional children with these findings, including 1 with visceral extension to the spleen.

Keywords: granuloma; rubella; skin; spleen; vaccine.
