Abstract
A girl with relapsing cervical lymphadenopathy due to Mycobacterium avium subsequently developed abdominal adenopathy and intestinal inflammation. 1 known (c.1623_1624delGCinsTT) and 1 novel mutation (c.65_68delCTGC of exon2) of the Interleukin-12 Receptor-beta1 (IL-12Rbeta1) gene was detected. Unlike reports of a more favorable outcome in these patients, our patient died of severe intestinal involvement.
