Abstract
We report a retrospective study on outcome of 14 newborn infants who received 62.5 times the recommended dose of Bacille Calmette-Guérin for immunization. All infants then received high-dose isoniazid and rifampicin (20 mg/kg/d each) as preventive therapy for 6 months. All had mild local adverse reactions, a third resolving within 16 weeks and all by 6 months.
