As routine work, the nurse wanted to inject Vitamin K to a neonate, but she injected 0.5 cc of TB Vaccine solution and injected to neonate. Do you think the neonate should receive prophylaxis or treatment for TB?
In my opinion, the newborn presents a major risk of abscess and of all, local and general, complications of "BCG vaccine" (especially if immunocompromised). Regardless of local care, he should be treated by antituberculous.
I have recommended to treat the neonate with INH prophylaxis.do you advise a full course of treatment with 3 or 4 drugs?Have you faced with such patients?
