    Abstract:
    Vaccination against smallpox should be discontinued in all countries except for individuals with a high risk of exposure (WHO, 1980). Since this vaccination is performed less and less often, one must expect complications to occur, the etiology of which may not be recognized. This course of events leads the authors to point out the difficulties in diagnosis and therapy of localized accidental vaccinia encountered in six patients hospitalized in Brest (1971-1979). Diagnosis is considered if the patient himself, or a person he came in contact with, was recently vaccinated. Diagnosis should always be established by virology. Such accidents can be avoided by a faultless vaccination technique and by giving sufficient information to the inoculated subject or to his relatives.
