Abstract
A 3‐month‐old child with a grossly symmetrical monomorphic papular acral‐located skin eruption, a voluminous lymphadenopathy post‐BCC vaccination, and hepatomegaly was seen. The diagnoses of Gianotti‐Crosti's syndrome and generalized tuberculous infection have been discarded. The appearance of these lesions 48 hours after a tuberculin patch test, their tuberculoid structure, and the absence of any systemic involvement favored the diagnosis of papular tuberculids, a rarely reported complication of BCC vaccination.
