Abstract:
:We present the case of an 11-month-old male infant who had been BCG vaccinated as a neonate. At the age of nine months, he developed a localized tumor above his right mamilla. The tumor destroyed the fourth rib and infiltrated the surrounding soft tissue. X-ray and CT scan suggested a malignant neoplasm. Histology, however, showed the typical picture of tuberculosis and Mycobacterium bovis (BCG strain) was isolated from the lesion. Thus, the tumor was caused by an unusual presentation of a costal BCG osteomyelitis which was associated with negative findings in the bone scan.

INFECTION文献大全abstract::Recently, important advances have been made in the immunodiagnosis of tuberculosis. New T cell interferon-gamma release assays (TIGRA) are more specific and more sensitive than the tuberculin skin test (TST) for the diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) infection. However, like the TST, TIGRA are unable to dis...
