Injection site abscesses are not so uncommon and usually bacterial in origin. Very occasionally, these are due to mycobacteria, particularly rapidly growing non-tuberculous mycobacteria. Mycobacterium tuberculosis is rarely implicated as a cause of injection site abscess as documented in this report following DPT vaccination. Various possible mechanisms for such an unusual event are also briefly explored.
