ABSTRACT
Lymphadenitis with persisting fistualas in children is almost always conditioned by specific inflammation, tuberculosis, zoonoses, actinomycoses. Tuberculosis of the lymph nodes can either be primary or post-primary. In this case report we have dealt with a case of a rare primary lymph node tuberculosis that arose as a result of vaccination complications. Disturbance of cellular immunity was the reason for BCG lymphadenitis. In references, the reasons for BCG-itis as well as vaccination contra-indications have been described.

The authors describe a group of 14 children with atopic eczema where to common Hismanal or Zaditen treatment in tablet form Hylak forte drops were added (L. Merckle Co.). After two months treatment the authors observed regression of subjective and objective complaints in 10 children. As to the investigated immunological parameters, they observed normal phagocyte activity of granulocytes and in the majority of children a decline of circulating immune complexes. This creates prerequisite conditions for reducing the costs of treatment and for starting aimed specific hyposensitization.
