Abstract

BCG is a unique vaccine. It was created and successfully used for specific prevention of tuberculosis. Reactivation of the BCG scar is a transient condition that occurs against the background of various diseases, capable of resolving itself, does not involve surgical intervention, but due to the low frequency of detected cases and the lack of pathogenetic justification for its occurrence requires dynamic observation.
