ABSTRACT
Local and minor adverse reactions to diphtheria–pertussis–tetanus (DPT) vaccination are common and usually mild they appear within 48 hours of vaccination. We, report a case of 3-month-old male child who developed a swelling at left thigh after intramuscular injection at 6 weeks vaccination Primary tubercular abscess was the final diagnosis. The exact etiology for this presentation is unknown; however, wrongful inoculation of the BCG vaccine in place of DPwT vaccine at 6 weeks could be suspected.
