Abstract

Bacillus Calmette-­Guérin (BCG) related regional lymphadenitis is not an uncommon complication following BCG vaccination. We report a six month male child who presented with fever and swelling in left axilla .The earlier diagnosis at this age may help in better management of the condition and prevent further complication and have better prognosis.


Keywords: BCG; Vaccination; Lymphadenitis.
