  • Title: [Clinical aspect and therapy of BCG-lymphadenitis (author's transl)].
    Author: Lachmann D, Howanietz L.
    Journal: Padiatr Padol; 1976; 11(1):283-6. PubMed ID: 1250626.
    Abstract:
    BCG-Lymphadenitis is a local complication of BCG-vaccination. The rate of complication depends on the kind of vaccine used, the dose and the used technique. In the last 9,5 years 32 infants with BCG-Lymphadenitis complicated with suppuration or perforation have been treated surgically. For 6 patients the treatment included a pre- and postoperative tuberculostatic therapy, for 11 patients included antibiotics. In 15 cases only surgical treatment was performed. In all 3 groups satisfactory results have been achieved, therefore tuberculostatic therapy seems not to be necessary and an antibiotic therapy ought to be reserved for cases with secondary miscellaneous infection. There is no doubt that it is possible to shorten the duration of this disease through early extirpation and to achieve a favourable cosmetic result too.
