Abstract
A 6-month-old child presented with a complaint of swelling in the left axillary region persisting for 3 months, accompanied by intermittent episodes of fever. Ultrasonography revealed hypoechoic lesions in the affected area. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) indicated the presence of Acid-fast bacilli. Given the presence of multiple matted suppurative lymph nodes, surgical excision was performed, and the child was initiated on anti-tubercular treatment (ATT). After 3-4 weeks, the swelling showed signs of reduction, and the child is currently under regular follow-up. Keywords: Bacille Calmette-Guerin, Vaccination, Lymphadenitis, Fine needle aspiration, Excision biopsy, Acid fast bacilli
