Usefulness of echocardiography for papular tuberculid with fever after BCG vaccination

The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay and antibody titre tests for measles and rubella were negative. Because of rash and fever are principal clinical features of Kawasaki disease (KD), we performed echocardiography and found no abnormalities in the coronary arteries or myocardium.

Summary:The QuantiFERON-TB Gold Plus assay and antibody titre tests for measles and rubella were negative. Because of rash and fever are principal clinical features of Kawasaki disease (KD), we performed echocardiography and found no abnormalities in the coronary arteries or myocardium. There is no established procedure for the treatment of generalised papular tuberculid after BCG vaccination because the disease is not yet well recognised. [...]it is important for clinicians and trainees to perform echocardiography when KD is suspected in patients who develop papular tuberculid with fever after BCG vaccination. [...]we encountered a case of papular tuberculid with fever after BCG vaccination diagnosed by appropriate medical procedures.
