A patient suffering from chronic granulomatous disease (then undiagnosed) developed progressive BCG infection from the age of 4 months. At about the age of 10 months his parents instituted legal action against the State on the grounds that their consent for BCG vaccination had been given when they were uninformed; approximately 4 months later the underlying immune defect was established. Complications of BCG vaccination are rare. The various factors that may be involved in their aetiology are outlined, and the association of chronic granulomatous disease and progressive BCG infection is briefly discussed.
一名患有慢性肉芽肿病（当时未确诊）的患者从4个月大时开始出现进行性卡介苗感染。在大约10个月大时，他的父母以在不知情的情况下给予卡介苗接种同意书为由对国家提起法律诉讼；大约4个月后，潜在的免疫缺陷被确诊。卡介苗接种的并发症很少见。概述了可能涉及其病因的各种因素，并简要讨论了慢性肉芽肿病与进行性卡介苗感染的关联。
