摘要
A 2- year- old girl with recurrent severe varicella infections had a fatal outcome. Studies of cellular and humoral immunity were normal. No natural killer (NK) cells were detected, and NK activity was markedly decreased. The interleuk in (IL)15/IL15R signaling pathway was intact. This case emphasizes the role of N K cells in controlling herpes viral infection.
