ABSTRACT
The dissemined BCG infection is a rare and serious post BCG vaccinal complication, occuring mostly in patients with immunity disorder. We presented two family cases of dessimined BCG infection with an underling chronic septic granulomatosis. Diagnosis of BCG infection was established on imaging features of a multifocal involvement osteoarticular, visceral, and lymphadenopathy. Actually, CT scan and MRI allow diagnosis extension and etiology of multifocal involve based on puncture and/or biopsy. Usually no bacteriological evidence of Bacillus Calmette Guerin is obtained on culture in 50% of cases
