title: [BCG dissemination in a child with normal immunity].
abstract: A fourteen month old girl with BCG dissemination and BCG lymphadenitis is presented. Mycobacterium bovis BCG strain was isolated from axillary fistula and from gastric contents. Pathohystological examination of the lymph mode and cytological examination of the bronchial mucus confirmed granulomatous inflammation. All tests for humoral and cellular immunity were with reference ranges. Antituberculous therapy successfully eliminated Mycobacterium bovis in gastric contents, and healed the wound in the left armpit. As the patient had tuberculoid form of BCG dissemination, the therapy was successful.
