A 2.5‐year‐old pediatric patient with acute flaccid paralysis was diagnosed with primary immunodeficiency (PID) in Ningxia Province, China, in 2011. Twelve consecutive stool specimens were collected from the patient over a period of 10 months (18 February 2011 to 20 November 2011), and 12 immunodeficiency vaccine‐derived poliovirus (iVDPV) strains (CHN15017‐1 to CHN15017‐12) were subsequently isolated. Nucleotide sequencing analysis of the plaque‐purified iVDPVs revealed 2%–3.5% VP1‐region differences from their parental Sabin 3 strain. Full‐length genome sequencing showed they were all Sabin 3/Sabin 1 recombinants, sharing a common 2C‐region crossover site, and the two key determinants of attenuation (U472C in the 5′ untranslated region and T2493C in the VP1 region) had reverted. Temperature‐sensitive experiments demonstrated that the first two iVDPV strains partially retained the temperature‐sensitive phenotype's nature, while the subsequent ten iVDPV strains distinctly lost it, possibly associated with increased neurovirulence. Nineteen amino‐acid substitutions were detected between 12 iVDPVs and the parental Sabin strain, of which only one (K1419R) was found on the subsequent 10 iVDPV isolates, suggesting this site's potential as a temperature‐sensitive determination site. A Bayesian Monte Carlo Markov Chain phylogenetic analysis based on the P1 coding region yielded a mean iVDPV evolutionary rate of 1.02 × 10−2 total substitutions/site/year, and the initial oral‐polio‐vaccine dose was presumably administered around June 2009. Our findings provide valuable information regarding the genetic structure, high‐temperature growth sensitivity, and antigenic properties of iVDPVs following long‐term evolution in a single PID patient, thus augmenting the currently limited knowledge regarding the dynamic changes and evolutionary pathway of iVDPV populations with PID during long‐term global replication.
