Abstract
|
|
|
Tuberculid is thought to develop as a hypersensitive immunologic reaction in the skin to an occult internal focus of
tuberculosis. Lichen scrofulosorum (LS) is a rare tuberculid, which usually develops in children and young adults.
Rarely, lichen scrofulosorum can be caused by Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination. With the increasing use
of BCG inoculation, several complications have been reported. However, there have been no reports of lichen
scrofulosorum following BCG vaccination in the Korean literature. We report a case of lichen scrofulosorum
developing after BCG vaccination.
