All newborns in Hong Kong are given bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccinations. Reported complications include formation of regional and extra-regional localised abscesses, osteomyelitis, and lymphadenitis. ⋯ Bacille Calmette-Guérin osteomyelitis, although rare, should be kept in mind as a potential complication of bacille Calmette-Guérin vaccination. Clinical suspicion, early diagnosis using an image-guided tissue biopsy and polymerase chain reaction study, and early commencement of chemotherapy are key to the effective management of this problem.
