BACKGROUND The Bacillus Calmette-Guérin vaccine, which is used for the prevention of tuberculosis, is considered protective against the severe forms of childhood tuberculosis. However, some serious adverse reactions including osteitis of the long bones can occur. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of an 18-month-old Sudanese girl who presented at the age of 3 months with swelling of her left ...
INTRODUCTION Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis. Usually, systemic complications due to BCG vaccination are quite rare. However, since BCG is a live vaccine, there is still a possibility that it may cause an infection. CASE PRESENTATION Hepatic granuloma was found incidentally in an asymptomatic 5-month-old infant who was found dead in his bed. The p...
The toxicity of intrapleural Tice strain Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infection was tested in hamsters. Doses above 10(6) colony-forming units caused significant systemic infection, which could be controlled with conventional antituberculosis therapy. Living BCG in the pleural space did not prevent the healing of bronchial or vascular closures after pulmonary resection. Prophylactic intrapleu...
We present a theoretical study of superficial bladder cancer growth and its treatment via pulsed immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis. BCG pulsed immunotherapy is a clinically established procedure for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. In this paper, periodic BCG instillations are modeled using impulsive differential equations...
OBJECTIVES To describe characteristics of children developing Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) lymphadenitis, and to evaluate needle aspiration treatment. METHODS Children developing BCG lymphadenitis following BCG vaccination in Al-Rass General Hospital, Al-Rass, Saudi Arabia were prospectively studied from October 2008 to September 2013. Non-suppurative BCG lymphadenitis was conservatively ma...
Intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) instillation is broadly used to prevent bladder cancer recurrence or to treat carcinoma in situ. BCG infection is rare but can cause serious problems because this strain has intrinsic resistance to pyrazinamide, a first-line anti-tuberculosis drug. Furthermore, there had been no specific and easy procedure accurately diagnosing BCG infection. In this ...
Tuberculosis remains a leading cause of death worldwide, despite the availability of effective chemotherapy and a vaccine. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), the tuberculosis vaccine, is an attenuated mutant of Mycobacterium bovis that was isolated after serial subcultures, yet the functional basis for this attenuation has never been elucidated. A single region (RD1), which is absent in all BCG su...
Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most important public health problems in the world and has been declared as a global emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 1993. Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is one of the first developed vaccines to prevent TB. Unfortunately, BCG vaccine has had a limited duration of protection and has shown controversial and variable levels of efficacy, especial...
