Mycobacterium bovis BCG is widely used as a vaccine against tuberculosis (TB), despite its variable protective efficacy. Relatively little is known about the immune response profiles following BCG vaccination in relation to protection against TB. Here we tested whether BCG vaccination results in immune responses to DosR (Rv3133c) regulon-encoded proteins. These so-called TB latency antigens are...
متن کاملLong-Lived Memory B-Cell Responses following BCG Vaccination
The role of T-cells in immunity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) infection has been extensively studied, however, that of B-cells still remains comparatively unexplored. In this study, we determined the presence and frequencies of mycobacteria-specific memory B-cells (MBCs) in peripheral blood from clinically healthy, Bacillus Calmette Guerin (BCG) vaccinated (n = 79) and un...

The disease, commonly transmitted by rabid dogs, is the cause of mortality of over 59000 humans worldwide annually.

متن کاملNecrotizing fasciitis following BCG vaccination.
We report a newborn with methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus mediated necrotizing fasciitis after Bacilli-Calmette-Guerin vaccination. Radical debridement of the affected area coupled with twice daily surgical honey dressing and intravenous vancomycin and clindamycin resulted in satisfactory healing.
متن کاملDisseminated tuberculosis following BCG vaccination.

Disseminated TB following BCG vaccination is even rarer. The possible reasons for dissemination following BCG are faulty techniques of intra-dermal administration and use of excess doses of the vaccine. Dissemination following BCG also occurs i...
