Children who had Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) osteomyelitis experienced long-term bone growth issues. These included limb shortening and joint axis deviation, which were not surgically corrected after bone growth ceased.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Vaccine-Immnunology

Background:

  • Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination is a common preventive measure against tuberculosis.
  • BCG osteomyelitis is a rare but serious complication following BCG vaccination, particularly in children.
  • Understanding long-term sequelae is crucial for comprehensive patient management.

Observation:

  • This study evaluated five patients with confirmed BCG osteomyelitis who received the Moscow-type BCG vaccine.
  • Patients were monitored from diagnosis and treatment through the cessation of bone growth, over an 18-year period.
  • The study focused on identifying and assessing long-term orthopedic and functional outcomes.

Findings:

  • Common long-term sequelae included limb length discrepancies and knee joint axis deviation.

  • Muscular hypotrophy of affected limbs and residual radiographic changes at the epiphyseal infection site were observed.
  • These orthopedic deficits persisted even after the completion of bone growth.

    • Implications:

    • Complex, multidisciplinary treatment approaches are necessary for managing BCG osteomyelitis.
    • The identified long-term sequels often do not necessitate corrective surgical intervention after skeletal maturity.
    • This highlights the importance of long-term follow-up and realistic expectations for functional recovery in affected individuals.
