ABSTRACT
Introduction. The application of BCG is safe and effective; however complications can occur such as BCGosis, entity
that can have a fatal course. The objective is to present a case of chronic granulomatous disease (CGE) that complicated
with BCGosis.
Clinical case. Female patient 9 months of age with induration and ulceration of the right deltoid region, in place of application
of BCG, ipsilateral submaxillary adenopathy and intermittent fever, fluid evacuations and generalized tonic-clonic
seizures. The dihydrorhodamine-123 test was positive.
Discussion. The complications disseminated by BCG in patients with EGC are from 75 to 90%, in lower frequency to
bone marrow (14%). The recurrence of the disseminated disease is 27% and the death can be up to 18%. Therefore, severe
adverse reactions of BCG should make EGC suspect and, on the other hand, its application is contraindicated in these
patients.
Conclusion. The BCGosis, is a systemic complication by the vaccine, when it is likely that the patient will have some
severe immunodeficiency; the EGC is the most common. It has a high risk of mortality and the antituberculosis treatment
associated with interferon γ has given good results.
