Administration of the BCG vaccine to all newborns was discontinued in Finland by the end of August 2006. Since then the vaccination has been given targetedly to children having an increased risk of contracting tuberculosis. We describe a child of six months and Finnish origin with diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis. The child did not belong to any risk group and thus did not receive BCG vaccination as a newborn. Extensive investigations failed to reveal the source of infection.
