Résumé
Background
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) scar reactivation (BCGitis) is a distinctive clinical sign reported in Kawasaki disease (KD), yet evidence remains scarce across the literature. We aimed to summarize the epidemiology, chronology, clinical correlates, and coronary outcomes associated with BCGitis in KD.
Methods
We conducted a PRISMA-ScR-guided scoping review of studies describing BCGitis in KD. Data were synthesized descriptively across retrospective cohorts and case reports/series.
