Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) osteomyelitis is a very rare, serious complication of BCG immunization. We report a 7- month-old boy who was admitted for 3-day history of fever, limited range of movement of the right shoulder and tenderness of right arm. Laboratory investigations showed mild leucocytosis with relative lymphocytosis, high levels of CRP. CT scan of humeral regions revealed: juxta-articular osteoporosis, well demarcated eccentric osteolytic lesion in proximal right humerus, periostal reaction with cortical infarctions, soft-tissue swelling and liquefaction adjusted to the underlying bone. Hyperergic tuberculin sensitivity 17 mm bullous infiltrate, was detected by Mantoux test. Chest X-ray and QFT were normal. Underlying immunodeficiency syndrome was excluded. Three-month tuberculostatic treatment leaded to the complete resolution of the disease. The case is presented for its rarity in Bulgarian population. Key words: BCG osteitis/osteomyelitis, BCG immunization, child Address for correspondence: Assoc. Prof. B. Varbanova, Head of Second pediatric clinic, UMHAT Sv. Marina, 1 H.
