Abstract

The adverse effects of BCG vaccination span diversely from systemic to local reactions. However, the adverse effects of BCG vaccination on the skin are rare and these can appear as non-specific or specific skin reactions. We experienced two cases of non-specific skin reaction, which occurred on a vaccine-injected site. Eczematous lesions with the clinical and pathological findings have not previously been report in the English dermatologic literature. Herein, we present two interesting cases of non-specific skin reactions from dermatological complications of BCG vaccination.
