Metastatic osteomyelitis following BCG vaccination
Acta Orthopaedica Scandinavica
|April 1, 1978
Abstract:
An 8-year-old girl, who had been vaccinated with BCG without subsequent regional reactions, developed osteomyelitis in the left calcaneus 7 months later. The process healed after surgical treatment and chemotherapy for 1 year. Culture from the bone abscess gave growth of mycobacteria which could not be distinguished from BCG.
