Abstract
An eight-month-old Turkish boy presented at the Fatih University Pursaklar outpatient clinic with excessive hair on his left shoulder. The history was that 15 days after receiving BCG vaccination at the age of two months, new hairs were noticed at the site. Examination revealed an aggregation of dark hairs on an area measuring 4x3cm at the site of the vaccination with the scar of BCG vaccine at the base. We would like to draw attention to this hitherto unreported localized hypertrichosis complicating BCG vaccination. Key Words: BCG vaccine, hypertrichosis, side effect Nigerian Journal of Paediatrics 30(3) 2003: 93-95
