title: [BCG-infection in chronic granulomatous disease (author's transl)].
abstract: A 7 year old boy developed in the newborn period a chronic suppurative process after routine BCG vaccination beginning at the site of the injection and spreading to the adjacent areas on neck and chin. A supraclavicular lymphadenopathy was also noted. Serial histological examinations revealed the typical histopathological pattern of tuberculosis and the boy received a tuberculostatic therapy for five years. During this time he suffered from multiple chronic bacterial infections which led to chronic granulomatous inflammations in different organs and to a fibrous pneumonitis with subsequent cor pulmonale. At the age of 6 years a negative NBT-test allowed the diagnosis of GCD. Consequently therapy with Sulfamethoxazol-Trimethoprim was started and the rate of infections diminished markedly.
