[Clinical course of tuberculosis in young children, vaccinated and non-vaccinated with BCG vaccine]. 1994

O I Korol, and A I Odintsov, and V N Krivokhizh

As shown by the analysis of tuberculosis forms in 27 infants under 1 year of age (group 1) and 150 infants of older age (group 2), the involvement of the intrathoracic lymph nodes holds the first place among tuberculosis forms encountered in infants. Severe infection (tuberculous meningitis, disseminated tuberculosis) occurred more frequently in group 1. The authors emphasize epidemiological significance of contacts with tuberculous patients. To decrease infant tuberculosis incidence rate, it is of much more importance to make early diagnosis in the adults, to give infants preventive treatment, chemoprophylaxis in particular, than to perform BCG vaccination under conditions of close contacts with tuberculous subjects.
