چکیده
INDIAN PEDIATRICS 955 VOLUME 42SEPTEMBER 17, 2005 gluteal abscess(2). When BCG vaccination is given in the gluteal region, subcutaneous abscess is known to occur(3). Intramuscular injections can very rarely predispose the underlying Koch’s bacilli to get fixed at the site leading onto a subsequent abscess. The distinction between a tuberculous abscess and injection abscesses caused by Mycobacterium fortuitum and M.chelonei is by a therapeutic trial of ATT to which the latter do not respond(4). An isolated tuberculous abscess is a rare phenomenon reported previously only in adults(5).
