ABSTRACT
BCG vaccine was introduced in the world in 1921, in order to protect against severe forms of tuberculosis, mainly
neuroinfection. Vaccination should be performed in the neonatal period, it is applied intradermally in the right deltoid
region after asepsis and antisepsis techniques; it presents a skin reaction that goes from two to eight weeks after
application, on some occasions adverse reactions have been reported. We present the case of a female infant with
an abscess by Providencia rustingianii at the vaccine application site. It is likely that the abscess began at the time
of biological application. She responded with antimicrobial treatment.
