A boy with failure to thrive and isolated pancreatic amylase deficiency is described. Immunoprecipitation confirmed only salivary isoamylase in duodenal fluid at ages 20 and 33 months. Because normal pancreatic amylase messenger RNA was detected by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in the fluid, failure of the normal maturation of pancreatic amylase secretion may explain the deficiency.

Live pentavalent human-bovine reassortant rotavirus vaccine is recommended in the United States for routine immunization of infants. We describe three infants, two with failure to thrive, who had dehydration and diarrhea within 1 month after their first or second rotavirus immunization and subsequently received a diagnosis of severe combined immunodeficiency. Rotavirus was detected, by means of reverse-transcriptase-polymerase-chain-reaction (RT-PCR) assay, in stool specimens obtained from all three infants, and gene-sequence analysis revealed the presence of vaccine rotavirus. These infections raise concerns regarding the safety of rotavirus vaccine in severely immunocompromised patients.
