Abstract
Here, we report a new patient with AR partial STAT1 deficiency, with a history of BCG-osis and COVID-19 pneumonia. To our knowledge, this patient is the first with AR STAT1 deficiency associated with severe COVID-19 pneumonia. AR STAT1 deficiency was predicted to confer susceptibility to COVID-19 pneumonia as reported patients with this IEI developed pneumonia caused by other viruses [[2]] due to unresponsiveness to both type I and III IFNs. AR partial STAT1 deficiency is caused by decreased STAT1 protein expression, resulting in less severe symptoms than in patients with AR complete STAT1 deficiency [[2]]. [Extracted from the article]
