Abstract

A 3 month-old infant vaccinated with BCG at birth presented with granulomatous hepatitis with BCG isolated in the liver. Splenomegaly, infiltrates in both pulmonary apices and hilar adenopathies were simultaneously present. No immune deficiency could be found. Complete recovery followed specific polychemotherapy. Parenchymal calcifications appeared in the liver, spleen, lungs and mesenteric ganglia.
