The names and dates of the publications of Brachyura of Guérin (Guérin-Méneville from 1836) are reviewed, and previously unidentified or overlooked names are identified. Several identical new names used in multiple publications by Guérin (also under the name Guérin-Méneville), and others that appeared in the same year necessitated the accurate determination of publication dates to establish pri...

Immunotherapy with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin is widely used for treatment and prophylaxis of superficial urothelial cancer. Complications associated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin treatment are common. The authors describe a case of granulomatous inflammation of the penis associated with intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guérin therapy, presenting with multiple erythematous and painless nodules loca...

the aim of this investigation was to improve the storage stability and survival rate of intravesical bcg product, manufactured with an attenuated strain of mycobacterium bovis (pasteur strain 1173p2 of bcg) in the presence of sodium glutamate. formulations with various concentrations of trehalose (a known protectant) were developed as liquid and lyophilized forms. formulations were evaluated by...

All newborns are given Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine in Iran which is prepared from live bovine tuberculosis bacillus, and is given to protect against tuberculosis. Osteomyelitis secondary to BCG vaccination is rare and usually involves epiphysis of long tubular bones. Methods...

F or many years, public health practitioners have been puzzled by the fact that vaccines developed to fight specific diseases also have nonspecific effects that alter the host response to unrelated infections. In PNAS, Kleinnijenhuis et al. (1) describe part of the immunological mechanism for the nonspecific effects of vaccines: Bacillus Calmette–Guérin vaccine (bacille Calmette–Guérin), which ...

background: bacillus calmette-guérin (bcg) vaccination is recommended for newborn infants worldwide to prevent tuberculosis. however, complications do occur inevitably in a very low rate, among which the most serious is disseminated disease. the disseminated bacillus calmette–guérin disease is a rare disease with high fatality, and can be seen among persons with an underlying immunodeficiency. ...

PURPOSE We systematically review the benefits and harms of intravesical therapies for nonmuscle invasive bladder cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Systematic literature searches were performed of Ovid MEDLINE (January 1990 through February 2016), the Cochrane databases and reference lists. Randomized and quasi-randomized trials of intravesical bacillus Calmette-Guérin, mitomycin C, gemcitabine, t...

introduction bacillus calmette-guérin (bcg) vaccine, a live attenuated mycobacterium bovis strain, is administrated to all newborn infants in endemic regions according to the current world health organization (who) recommendation. case presentation we report a 10-month-boy who was a known case of severe combined immunodeficiency (scid) admitted with multi-focal fusiform painful swelling in his ...
