Abstrakt | The case of a 22 month old male infant is reported, who underwent BCG vaccination five days after his birth. Almost 4 months after the vaccination, an abscess developed at the site of the injection. Mildly itching, circular to oval macular lesions appeared first surrounding the abscess, then spread over the entire body. The rash was successfully treated with topical emollients and mometasone furoate ointment. The infant displayed white dermographism, and his mother had a history of atopic dermatitis. The possible role of underlying immunological factors are discussed in relation to the symptomatology. | |
