Tuberculosis in 84 BCG-Vaccinated Young Adults

Birthe Groth-Petersen M.D.1

1 Copenhagen County Chest Clinics and the Danish Tuberculosis Index, Copenhagen, Denmark

The pattern of pulmonary tuberculosis in BCG-vaccinated patients is indistinguishable from ordinary postprimary tuberculosis in the unvaccinated. BCG vaccination thus has not changed the pattern of clinical disease. It is of practical significance that casefinding through skin testing for tuberculin conversion or marked increase in reaction site has been impossible in our vaccinated population.
