Abstract
|
|
|
Generalized granuloma annulare is defined as affecting at least the trunk and either the upper or lower extremities,
or both. It is represented by disseminated necrobiotic dermal papules forming annular or nonannular configuration.
Clinical associations between generalized granuloma annulare and diabetes mellitus, thyroid disease, malignancy,
infection, and vaccination have been reported. BCG vaccination induces specific and nonspecific dermatologic
complications such as scrofuloderma-like, lupus vulgaris-like, tuberculid, urticaria, erythema multiforme, erythema nodosum, and granuloma annulare. Generalized granuloma annulare associated with BCG vaccination or tuberculin
test has not been reported in the Korean literature. Herein, we report a case of generalized granuloma annulare which occurred in a 6-month-old boy following BCGitis on the BCG vaccination site. (Korean J Dermatol 2008;46(5):656∼659)
