Necrotizing fasciitis following BCG vaccination

Rajoo Thapa et al. Indian Pediatr. 2011 Mar.

Abstract

We report a newborn with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus mediated necrotizing fasciitis after Bacilli-Calmette-Guerin vaccination. Radical debridement of the affected area coupled with twice daily surgical honey dressing and intravenous vancomycin and clindamycin resulted in satisfactory healing.
