[Recurrent soft tissue infections after accidental inoculation with BCG vaccine].
Complications after BCG vaccine (bacilli Calmette-Guérin) occur rarely. They can reach from a local acute abscess to chronic ulceration's. Therapeutically concepts of these complications range from conservative to operative treatment. In the following case history recurrent soft tissue infections occurred after accidental inoculation with BCG vaccine. The time course of these recurrent infections with its therapeutic options is discussed and a treatment strategy is suggested. Currently, radical excision combined with antituberculotic treatment seems to be the most promising therapy of this specific soft tissue infection.
