Lymphadenitis as a late complication of BCG vaccination.
Lymphadenitis is a relatively common complication following intradermal BCG vaccination, and usually occurs 6 to 9 months after injection. However, lymphadenitis following BCG given by the scarification method is rare. We report a case of BCG lymphadenitis occurring 11 and 18 years after vaccination by the scarification method.
