http://www.journal-imab-bg.org / J of IMAB. 2015, vol. 21, issue 2/ ABSTRACT This study has been designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of BCG vaccine in school-entering children in terms of tuberculin response to PPD and scar formation as indicators for successful vaccination. 12 BCG lots were used to immunize 1054 tuberculin-negative children at age of 7 years. Local lesions were observed a...
متن کاملMaternal BCG scar is associated with increased infant proinflammatory immune responses
INTRODUCTION Prenatal exposures such as infections and immunisation may influence infant responses. We had an opportunity to undertake an analysis of innate responses in infants within the context of a study investigating the effects of maternal mycobacterial exposures and infection on BCG vaccine-induced responses in Ugandan infants. MATERIAL AND METHODS Maternal and cord blood samples from ...
