Abstract
A 3-year-old boy presented with an osteolytic lesion and periosteal reaction in the distal metaphysis of the right femur which failed to respond to immobilization and intensive antibiotic treatment. Since the infection seemed to be of low virulence and fewer than 4 years had elapsed since BCG vaccination BCG osteomyelitis was suspected. Tuberculostatic treatment led to rapid recovery and surgical measures were unnecessary.Entities:
