Bacille Calmette–Guerin (BCG) vaccination for protection against tuberculosis has been in
use for long. Although the vaccine is safe, its administration can result in complications such as BCG
adenitis. We report here a series of children with BCG adenitis with a view to recognise and manage
this condition. It is hoped that this case series would encourage the increased identification of this
condition.
2.Esophageal perforation in children: etiology and management, with special reference to endoscopic esophageal perforation.
Korean Journal of Pediatrics 2018;61(6):175-179
Perforation of the esophagus is an uncommon problem with significant morbidity and mortality. In children undergoing endoscopy, the risk of perforation is higher when interventional endoscopy is performed. The clinical features depend upon the site of esophageal perforation. Opinions vary regarding the optimal treatment protocol, and the role of conservative management in this context is not well established. Esophageal perforation that occurs as a consequence of endoscopy in children requires careful evaluation and management, as outlined in this article.
