Erythromycin in the management of troublesome BCG lesions

J T Power et al. Br J Dis Chest. 1984 Apr.

Abstract

We have recently seen six persons with troublesome post-BCG lesions. All lesions healed whilst on therapy with erythromycin for a period of 2-4 weeks. Erythromycin has some effect on the atypical mycobacteria ( Wolinsky et al. 1957) but its use has not previously been described for treatment of BCG lesions.
