- Bacilli Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is a live attenuated vaccine first used in 1921 for prevention of tuberculosis. It is administrated intradermally at the time of birth. Ipsilateral axillary lymphadenopathy is a complication of this vaccine which is lesser known. Fine needle aspiration cytology is a simple, cost effective and outdoor patient procedure for diagnosis as well as management of this entity. Here, we present a case of four months old infant who presented with left axillary suppurative lymphadenopathy.
