Primary immunodeficiency diseases and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG)-vaccine-derived complications: a systematic review
ConclusionsSeveral PID entities are susceptible to BCG-VAC. Systemic neonatal PID screening programs may help to prevent a substantial amount of BCG vaccination complications.

Inhaled corticosteroid-related tuberculosis in the real world among patients with asthma and COPD: A 10-year nationwide population-based study
ConclusionAn increased risk of TB development may persist for 3 years after stopping the ICS and the risk is higher in patients with COPD regardless of the type of ICS used.

Is there an overlap in immune response between allergic bronchopulmonary and chronic pulmonary aspergillosis?
ConclusionsAbout 5% of subjects with CPA fulfilled all the immunological criteria used for diagnosing ABPA while 22% met the obligatory criteria for ABPA. Whether these patients would require a different management protocol requires further investigation.

Asthma, sinonasal disease, and the risk of active tuberculosis
ConclusionsA history of asthma or sinonasal disease may modulate immunological response to reduce incidence of active TB in the adult population.

Antituberculosis Drug-Associated DRESS: A Case Series
ConclusionsWe described the largest case series of first-line antituberculosis drug-associated DRESS in the literature. All antituberculosis drugs pose a risk of DRESS. An early withdrawal of the culprit drugs is essential. A drug allergy evaluation must be performed to optimize the second-line treatment of tuberculosis infection.

Analysis of HLA-B allelic variation and interferon-gamma ELISpot responses in patients with severe cutaneous adverse reactions associated with drugs
Conclusions HLA-B pre-screening would succeed in preventing only a minority of SCAR victims. Drug-specific IFN-γ releasing cells are detectable in almost half of patients. Better strategies are required for better SCAR prevention and culprit drug confirmation.
