Abstract:
A 7-month-old boy with scrofuloderma following BCG vaccination is presented. He had a 2 cm x 1 cm erythematous lesion with a sinus tract in the right cervical area. In addition, he had ulcerated erythematous lesions 0.5 cm x 0.5 cm in size on the left deltoid area and left forearm where BCG vaccination and a PPD test were performed, respectively. Histopathologic findings were consistent with the clinical diagnosis.
