Clinical Efficacy and Laboratory Improvement of Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Vaccination on Adult Atopic Asthma A Cohort Study
BACKGROUND : Recent studies have shown that Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination is inversely related to asthma, a Th2 cell-associated with allergic disease, which BCG in humans induces Th1-cell immune responses and prevents airway remodeling. OBJECTIVE : To investigate whether thrice BCG vaccinations are clinically effective and could induce laboratory improvement compared with placebo...
متن کاملGeneralized Granuloma Annulare in Infancy Following Bacillus Calmette-Guerin Vaccination
Generalized granuloma annulare (GGA) is a rare benign granulomatous dermatosis characterized by disseminated necrobiotic dermal papules. Histologically, it presents as a lymphohistiocytic granuloma associated with varying degrees of connective tissue degeneration. It usually occurs in adults and rarely affects infants.

متن کاملClinical Outcome of Children with Post Bacillus Calmette and Guerin Vaccination Complications: A Single Center Experience
Background: Bacillus Calmette ET Guerin (BCG) vaccine, compulsory in endemic areas, remains the only available vaccine for prevention of Tuberculosis (TB) despite its modest protective value. Complications may arise in healthy/ immunocompromized hosts. Methods: Children presenting with BCG vaccine related complications in the form of local/distant complications were enrolled from 2007-2010 at C...
متن کاملInhibition of IFN-γ promotes anti-asthma effect of Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin neonatal vaccination: a murine asthma model.
OBJECTIVE The Mycobacterium bovis Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) neonatal vaccination inhibits allergy-induced pathologic changes. However, the mechanisms underlying this process are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the role of interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-17 in the protective effects of the BCG neonatal vaccination on allergic pulmonary inflammation and airway hyperresponsiv...
