Therapeutic Approach in Complications of BCG Vaccinations in Children
Journal Title: Здоров`я дитини - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 47
Abstract
This article provides an experience of treatment of 206 patients with post-vaccination with BCG-affected lymph nodes (202 observations — 98.1 %) and children with post-vaccination tuberculous osteitis (4 patients — 1.9 %) aged from 1 month to 3 years, who were operated during the period from 2009 to 2011. There were 127 (61.7 %) boys, and 79 (38.3 %) girls. The article also raises questions of choice of surgical tactics in the treatment of complications of BCG vaccination in children. Doppler ultrasound can determine the nature of changes in the lymph nodes (from initial infiltration to total purulent fusion) to select a rational treatment strategy.
