Reviewer's report
Title:Two patients with intestinal failure requiring home parenteral nutrition, a
NOD2 mutation and tuberculous lymphadenitis
Version:3Date:24 December 2013
Reviewer: Michael Zasloff
Reviewer's report:
The report by Shäffler et al describes two patients who developed tuberculous
lymphadenitis while receiving HPN in the setting of intestinal failure. Each patient
was subsequently demonstrated to carry one of the prevalent CD associated
NOD2 mutations. Although the association could be coincidental it is worth noting
in the literature.
I found the report well-written and factually correct.
Minor revision: The authors should clarify whether Patient 2 was homozygotic at
the mutant NOD2 locus.
Level of interest: An article of importance in its field
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
