Children with lymphadenitis associated with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination do not experience more infections when compared with BCG-vaccinated children without lymphadenitis: a three years paired-cohort in Mexico

Abstract: This cohort strongly suggests that BCG-LA in healthy children is not associated with more episodes of AINF and hospitalizations, when paired and compared with children BCG-vaccinated without BCG-LA.

“…However, outcomes vary with the pulmonary form of the disease, with some showing a null effect and others close to 80%. In the study conducted at the Bahawal Victoria Hospital Pediatric Unit II in Bahawalpur, 76 of the 100 tuberculosis patients admitted during this period were vaccinated and 24 were unvaccinated 21 [22][23] . International data showing that BCG has a greater preventive effect in meningeal tuberculosis and less in pulmonary tuberculosis.…”

“…BCG vaccine is usually a safe vaccine, a number of complications can occur, such as adverse local reactions, regional lymphadenitis, osteomyelitis and disseminated infection in immunocompromised children with (4) lymphadenitis being the most common. The presentation rate of BCG (5) lymphadenitis is <1 per 1000 vaccinated children. Its incidence differs depending on the particular vaccine, the age of the child at the (6) time of vaccination and probably some other factors.…”

“…Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases, and is the second cause of death due to infection. The most important ways to prevent tuberculosis are improving the socio-economic conditions, early diagnosis and treatment, chemical preventive measures for more susceptible groups and Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination (1). The vaccine stimulates the immune system of cells and thereby creates protection against TB infection.…”
