A recovered case of generalized BCG infection.

A female infant was at the age of 8 months admitted with muco-cutaneous candidiasis. The applied therapy was inefficacious. Subsequent examinations pointed to a combined humoral and cellular immunopathy. At the age of 7 years the patient was readmitted with abdominal complaints. Diagnostic laparotomy revealed a tuberculous mesenterial growth. The isolated agent proved to be a BCG strain. Antituberculous therapy was beneficial, the tumour dissappeared and full recovery was attained. The mycotic process remained unchanged and still needs continuous treatment.
