Özet:

 

A two-year old male infant with  generalized BCG lymphadenitis is presented.  There was no obvious immunodeficiency  disorder detected in the patient. BCG vaccine  had been given at two months of age, and the  lymphadenopathy developed at 21 months of  age. Fine needle aspiration biopsy of the  lymph node on Giemsa stain revealed  macrophages very similar to Gaucher cells.  These cells also resembled macrophages seen  in lepromatous leprosy. They were engorged  with acid fast bacilli and had streaked or  wrinkled cytoplasm. Mycobacterium bovis  was cultured from the lymph nodes and the  patients improved with antituberculous  therapy.
