A case of BCG adenitis in a neonate is presented, emphasizing clinical recognition and management. A full-term infant developed right axillary swelling 4–6 weeks after BCG vaccination. Exam revealed a non-tender, mobile lymph node without systemic symptoms. Differential diagnoses include pyogenic, tuberculous, or malignant lymphadenopathy. This case highlights the importance of considering BCG-related complications, despite low incidence (0.2–0.4 per 1,000 recipients).
