We studied granuloma formation and its outcomes in BCG-induced granulomatosis in the liver of mice of different age periods treated with oxidized dextran. Newborn C57BL/6 mice were intraperitoneally injected with BCG vaccine on the first day of life (group 1) or BCG vaccine solution on first day of life and oxidized dextran on the second day of life (group 2). Analysis was carried out on 3, 5, 10, 28, and 56 days of life. After injection of BCG vaccine, granulomas in the liver appeared starting from the day 28. In mice treated with oxidized dextran, granulomas on day 28 were smaller and less numerous than in group 1 animals. In BCG granulomatosis, fibroplastic processes in the liver develop mainly at the site of granulomas. Injection of oxidized dextran under conditions of BCG granulomatosis reduced the manifestations of fibrosis in the liver.
