In patients with mycobacterial infection with BCG, we should suspect an inborn error of immunity, such as CGD. The diagnosis of CGD is made through the detection of a lack of radical oxygen species in neutrophils. The reported patients had pathogenic variants in the NCF2 gene, two of which have not been previously reported in the literature.
