A Child With Accidental Overdose and Intramuscular Administration of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Vaccine: Is Isoniazid Sufficient Alone?.

Inadvertent bacillus Calmette-Guerin can cause complications. This report presents a 17-month-old boy with inadvertent, high-dose intramuscular bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccination. Uniquely, our patient had abscess despite isoniazid prophylaxis. He had complete recovery with antimycobacterial treatment. Because there is no consensus about the management of these cases, close follow-up and prompt initiation of antimycobacterial treatment is essential in case of development of new symptoms.
