  • Title: [Multiple BCG-induced ulcers after subcutaneous vaccination in the framework of immunochemotherapy in malignant melanoma].
    Author: Korting HC, Strasser S, Konz B.
    Journal: Hautarzt; 1988 Mar; 39(3):170-3. PubMed ID: 3378889.
    Abstract:
    Immunochemotherapy combining dacarbazine with BCG is a possible therapeutic method for the adjuvant treatment of malignant melanomas. The routes of application of BCG, however, vary. As the case of a 61-year-old female shows, subcutaneous injection can lead to severe ulcerations, which respond to tuberculostatic therapy. Therefore scarifications seems to be preferable.
