ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Disseminated mycobacterial infection after bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG)vaccination is a very rare disorder, occurring mostly in patients with immunologic deficiency. We report a case of disseminated BCG infection in a 16-month-old girl with severe combined immunodeficiency. Plain radiographs showed multiple osteolytic lesions in the femora, tibiae, humerus, and phalanges. Abdominal sonography and CT scanning revealed multiple nodules in the spleen, and porto-caval lymphadenopathy.
