  • Title: [BCG-vaccination in neonates as a cause of osteomyelitis--an argument against BCG-vaccination?].
    Author: Walter S, Handrick W, Tischer W, Hörmann D, Borte M.
    Journal: Klin Padiatr; 1994; 206(6):433-6. PubMed ID: 7823528.
    Abstract:
    BCG-osteomyelitis is a rare complication of BCG-vaccination. By means of a case report clinical and immunological findings are discussed. Contrary to the undramatic clinical symptoms the x-ray showed pronounced osteolytic lesions in the sternum. The bacteriological examination demonstrated mycobacteria of BCG-type. Immunological investigations presented normal humoral and cellular immunity. The therapy (curettage, antituberculous drugs) was effective. In spite of this complication the BCG-vaccination is furthermore recommended.
