ABSTRACT
Secondary complications after Bacille Calmette-Guerin [BCG] vaccination are unusual. We describe 3 immunocompetent children who developed osteomyelitis after BCG vaccination. The course of the disease is not dramatic, but marked changes are frequently visible in plain radiograph and MRI. The real-time polymerase chain reaction has an essential role to confirm the diagnosis of BCG osteomyelitis. With proper surgical intervention and chemotherapy, the prognosis is usually good
ABSTRACT
We reveiwed 155 patients with isolated meniscal lesions after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy [3]. 129 patients were male and 26 patients were female with a mean age of 29 year. Satisfactory results were obtained in 92% of cases, while 5% had fair results and only 3% had poor results. On the basis of these findings, we strongly recommended performing arthroscopic patial meniscectomy as early as possible in symptomatic lesions with careful evaluation of older patients
