Abstract
- BCG (Bacillus Calmette-Guerin), which produces resistance to tuberculosis infection, is a vaccine containing live, attenuated Mycobacterium bovis. It induces specific and nonspecific dermatologic complications. The specific reactions include scrofuloderma-like, lupus vulgaris-like, lichen nitidus-like, lymphadenitis and tuberculid. We report a case of papular tuberculid, which was presented as 3-5mm sized erythematous papules on the extremities and face, and BCGitis had developed around the vaccination site after BCG vaccination. Histopathologic examination of the papule and lymph node showed granuloma, consisting of epithelioid cells and lymphocytes.
