چکیده
based effective treatment (9). Surgical excision remains controversial because of potentially high rates of significant scarring (10). For nonsuppurative lymphadenitis, a watch-and-wait approach is recommended because most resolve rapidly (8). Given our findings, the National TB Program in Georgia subsequently created a management protocol. This protocol recommends no intervention for nonsuppurative lymphadenitis and needle aspiration for suppurative local lymphadenitis. In summary, we found an increasing rate of BCG-associated lymphadenitis after a shift to exclusive BCG SSI vaccine use in Georgia. Countries with a BCG vaccination policy should have a clear protocol on management of BCG vaccine–related adverse events to avoid inappropriate treatment in children.
