Introduction: Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine, a live attenuated Mycobacterium bovis strain, is administrated to all newborn infants in endemic regions according to the current World Health Organization (WHO) recommendation. Conclusions: BCG vaccination administrated routinely in Iran, given that of no screening program for primary immune deficiency currently achieved in our country, exact attention to reschedule of immunization programs in suspicious newborn (with primary immune deficiency) always is necessary and is one of the most effective strategy to prevent BCG complication.
